Why my Gigabyte GA945GCM-S2C board GPU heat instantly

If it is not an accumulation of dust and if your fans are working properly and your ventilation is not blocked, that there was not a built-in cooling system for this integrated part makes me wonder what is going on. One would have thought it suggested such was not necessary. How old is the thermal paste in the computer? I would replace that before trying more desperate measures. Rather than presume the fan was working, I'd make sure that it was. Here are some causes and fixes: https://www.onecomputerguy.com/gpu-overheating/

Hi I need help with motherboard?

5 steps. we can not see your PC at all and now assembled wrong. nor what PSU you have or your countries AC line voltage (wall) but here is worst case, relic PSU's #1 is line AC voltage first, must be set first, #2 master power. on/off 1= on #3 is line cord and the 2 DC cables, not optional ever. and last is the power button on/off on case wired to PC correctly no CASE told. steps-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

Computer with Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 motherboard. I can`t turn it on.

the PSU maker evga shows how all tests are done to meet ATX spec and beyond. all over load trip points are tested, and for speed of shut down too. over and under voltage over current and over total power used. and tested for ripple, (chopper noise at 40kHz is common) below 20mv. and short tested too, after all why allow or cause a fire, dah?

Motherboard K8VT800 rel. 1 (socket

BIOS IS FIRST not windows, XP, last one allowed. 20045 mobo and you using it 12 years late wow. bottom fishing? BIOS must see the drive and the RTC coin cell not dead. the HDD IDE PATA dive is bad as most are did you know most drives store the drive ID in a track zero 0 zone so when the drive goes dead so does zone 0 and ID is now zero . and now invisible. learn to test the drive on a 2nd PC, see it is dead. see? testing PC with no send good PC is well near impossible unless none good spare HDD is at hand. IDE is a dead technolgy now most are 20 year old and are all dead. unless you buy one new and pay huge price for legacy stuff. (scapling) why not move up to SATA drives, SDD and and this legacy slog. this mobo has 2 SATA ports. just below IDE ports. buy a sata drive and use it and end IDE era now like 99.9%of others did. testing a IDE takes 2days , sata 10 seconds. end it;.

How do i use maximum ram on my GA H55N USB3 MOTHER BOARD?

you are confused about old mobo and old Intel H55 chipsets this PC has a iGPU chip aka. onboard GPU.integrated. and is VGA port on MOBO and this intel chip lacks any VRAM at all, and intel data sheet told you that it steals (yes that word) DDR RAM to form and create, VRAM so DDR RAM is 1.8GB (clear as day told you that , RTM) there are 2 cures, more DDR ram of use GPU card with say 1GB of VRam on the GPU card. ram most be installed in matched sets. you failed that. same sku # intel said and you ignored them the MMC maker. DDR ram is not like light bulbs there are ton rules max ram rule1. cpu sets the rule . max per slot. there is only 2 slots. min per slot density rules not violated or rank and chip per side. and matched sets. or buy certified DDR in matched sets and end all this pain DDR3 1666 (O.C.)/1333/1066/800 MHz 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory Bios must like the DDR3 too or fail you will windows 32 bit limits to 4GB minus Vram theft or 3.2GB (approx the answer is buying the wrong RAM but not one word what ram you really bought. 2+2=4GB or ram and must be matched, same SKU , intel say matched sku or can fail easy. the made the mmc, so ignoring them is not wise. the BIOS must like it too, newer ram super high density can fail.

I have the GA-M68MT-D3 motherboard

New build or worked for years and failed what? not using 2010 or older monitors , RIGHT>? this mobo is 2010 so I ask this due to age of PC. the 7year old coin cell can be bad, and if is can not be ignored. board same name rev.2.3? what hw rev is it. not told bad news is this EOL/DOA nForce 630aGPU chip set to avoid. this is nice board.and has vga on board, using that??????????? no video port told , we can no guess that nor card GPU nor cable video used, VGA, HDMI, DVI, or DP used my card has 3 ports all 3 different and not VGA on the modern cards\VGA is EOL now, on card. if card is there only it works all other (mobo igPU) are disabled the mobo has 2 power cables to mobo, both must be planted. 24pin and 4pin , forgot 4pin as we see all the time, noobs 4pin just behind those silly P./S2 ports top rear. the card goes on x16 slot only does it? if is card windows 7 is MAX for life due to lame use of Nforce relic chips, EOL but we are not at windows yet bios is dead. and is first things first fix. dead screens. NO PSU told nor if its fan spins. regardless of any OS, BIOS will run the VGA port, hard coded it is. so that is first.\ the 630a chip set last driver on earth w7-64 is here. 2009 release. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/14875/en-us

Ati radeon hd 7770 problem

no PC told at all no OS told either. sure a DESKTOP sure. no monitor told nor cable used, VGA, DVI,hdmi, DP i can not see your near black screen at all. cold booted is the PC splash screen dead./? all bios screen dead and all BIOS works even with HDD missing. idle black is sleep mode, a USA law mandates that. iof we do not like sleep mode we disable it in power settings CP CP means control panel this must be your first PC ever? and all go to sleep ,go to walmart see them all in sleep mode now, yes, a USA law called Energy star laws. and all wake up on demand new , unmolested. wiggling the mouse or hammering the space bar ends sleep but not if (again) power settings has USB going to sleep too. why post lacking Pc makers name and OS.windows what gee vast persons on earth ugraded w7 top 10 and now this fails. due to , PC maker told you , no w10 support in this secret PC 4 decades of 100,000 models of PC I can no no guess blind./ Radeon hd 7770 card and 80watt card in fact, oops.????? is this real ATI/AMD card or any of the other 12 makers of cards. ??????????? no full card number told and guess what the watts matter. 250watts is smallest watt PSU, or more if PC is loaded out like mine with 2SSD and 4 SSD and 1DVD and 1 Blue ray and max ddr and more. Power is first after fit, and yours fits so power is next PSU watts and what the card needs let me see that. all hits on this card show it crosses the magic 75watt rule for PCi-2 power of 75watts, and card is 80watts and more dynamically so they maker of the card has a 6 pin 12vdc aux jack that can not be ignored or the card fails, so is that wired up? as it must? yup top rear of card 6 pin aux power in black , steathy that, hard to see at 1st glance but 80watt cards need it, that and even 300watts cards are sold. does your card have red fan. see what I mean buy 12 maker of cars all with AMD GPU. the cards all have tag called the SKU tag or full model told for GPU speed and vram sizes and more, lots more. https://search.brave.com/images?q=%20Radeon%20hd%207770%20card# I have boxes full of old GPU cards here, stored. some need 500watt more PSU to even begin any 3d mode. only the SKU matters, wiki SKU. and what PC this is and what PSU wattage and if said PSU has the 2 AUX CABLES WITH DUAL 6/8 Plugs, (PCI-12v) marked. if not we can do adapters easy. ask

No dvd power no screen

2003 relic day dvd try dead sure. means power is dead. ever work before? now? not told at all, 1./2 of all APG cards do not work here, so history of all that matter huge for old legacy pain boxes. I call them. this pig has SIS chips and we never use those now why mess with any SIS stuff, (eol and doa) both now and ouch 2, ITE 8705 chip !!!!! Replaced power box fans not oscillating (surge?) anymore hdd LED stays on permanent . video card LED stays on permanent .2 fans of 3 going on video card (will gpu controls that not you) agp 8x fan works(spins) no power 2 dvd player. hdd drives dont appear 2 engage but lite shows on permanent .portable hdd lite shows permanent green when plugged in seems something on motherboard blown should be fixable dont know what or where, well we do tests, not guess or go broke fast. so the PC is dead, VGA port dead, monitor is good this old most are not good CCFL lamps dead, in MON, no monitor told at all nor how connected sure AGP the PC any PC is tested first stripped down so do that first. no express PCI , no sata drives allowed no VGA jack on mobo, best test is old legacy PCI only VGA card to get bios working AGP only works if on the gigabyte QVL list. not told yours. wrong AGP card will blow up the mobo, so doing that is DOOMED the manual tells this on page 1 it is so important it is there. x4 or what 1.8v agp is blow up time. 1 x AGP slot (8x/4x, AGP 3.0 compliant), supports 1.5v display card only<< read 3 times for effect, then use only allowed cards here. or use cheap old PCI VGA card, in PCI slot. there is no express slots.. some mobo do not have automatic VGA chip feature. and is huge huge pain that then. some default to AGP and if true here ouch./ the coin cell did last 14 years 17-3=14. sorry not possible. replace it. XP max support, 2001 OS ,21 years old now. ok your manual said Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so you don't need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA (great this is so PCI cards come up even after new coin cell()

Bought the wrong part, trying to figure out if I can use it anyway

that is a PCI (none express card) and only works in desktops modern with spare unused PCI slots not express) no PC told at all , 40 years of PC 100,000 models that will fail new. new PC have no PCI slot at all that ended in 2010 all modern PC the chip set there intel or AMd ended PCI support long ago. industrial uses like CNC mills and what now , they buy pci-express to PCI adapters and but not the card too tall and will not fit the PC case (hits) send it back ! yes and stop buying legacy junk unless PC is. get a real wifi card called PCIexpress ! only with antennas yes. good that. no OS told at all , cards can be bought old that do not support w10 at all, so not telling your OS , answers are impossible;. to buy a card his my list.
  1. must support your secret OS. MUST ! and is why FiRST.
  2. card must fit PCI-excress slot that is empty, longer slots than card are A-OKAY. (nasa slang sorry)
  3. get 802.11AC or AX called now wifi 5 or 6 (is dual band max)
  4. get one with antennas x2, so have longer range.
  5. antenna;'s in metal cased PC is useless (faradays laws)_
  6. do not buy router card, that is just silly and asking for trouble.
  7. upgrade real router at home to at lease AC grade 11AC .
  8. the PCI-e slot is power, there. 750 times as much power as needed for any wifi card on earth, 100MW it.
  9. that is it. if the maker has driver for your unstated OS load it first. (via Ethernet) or other PC. copy A to B.

Ga-x58a-ud3r the pwr led

that is custom system like mine a DIY build and custom unstated case., bought as new case only I bet of vast. and if built wrong it fails. the LED is where the POWER on LED wired wrong is it. the Power on led does flash wired correctly for sleep mode. if wired wrong is now the HDD activity LED, and should flash x58 is good chip set, pure intel it is usb3 chip NEC needs good driver so watch out there. pwr_on LED goes to pins 2 and 4 only on the header. page 30 in linked manual if is wired correctly the led is called MSG MSG/PWR (Message/Power/Sleep LED, Yellow/Purple): and Connects to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the sys-On is in S1 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep Blinking state or powered off (S5) so the manual told you blinking is S1 power state ACPI. other causes bad LED (power button) loose wires at mobo end of that or at power switch. mobo bad, here, rare as hens teeth if user did not jumper DC power to this LED pin and blow the driver transistor up. guesses wild does that. BIOS controls (you set it) soft power off , instant off or off. mode. no case told some are dead wrong here, some cases , use a 2 way LED for power, and is 2 LED wired in parallel and reversed to get 2 colors . and fails on simple mobo. not using bipolar controls to LED. NO CASE told so NO JOY , 10,000 cases made or more that the same but generic cases do work if is that, not OEM cases..

COMPUTER DOES NOT POWER ON

there are 20 causes. and tests. A 2002, 20 year old relic PC found in friends trash box sure. 20 years means caps bad. ok it and the 20 year old vga monitor too. no monitor told nor how connected it. a tech learns this and strips down the PC to mIN system no PC load out, told we cant see the endless array of parts folks can put in to any desktop. NO PCI-express slots, omg and no SATA drives allowed just trash old IDE, drives. long dead year 2001;era SIS 962/645 is useless now, no modern OS support at all. PSU to mobo is 2 cables not 1, 4p and 20pin, and 500watts (coin new and psu new) list. of tests. there is no mobo VGA port, com1/com2 yes no VGA so a relic PCI GPU card must be used, and default in bios is AGP an true horror that and is my wild guess why VGA is dead. CPU P4 Northwood, 0.13 m) processor DDR1. 3GB DRAM (Max)(DDR266/200/ 2.5v only !!! 1g x 3=3 Goal is Screen not dead and BIOS working.
  1. rule one is do not use AGP cards at all most fail there, or x4 rules and 1.5v rules and bios rejects most made. not in the makers AGP card QVL list (now gone to "do do" bird status)
  2. no USB devices connected
  3. no hdd (IDE) or dvd drives, cd drives connected, at all.
  4. 1 stick if ram in ddr bank 0 slot (low order)1GB or less.
  5. cpu installed , from QVL list at makers site. Northwood p4
  6. I will stop here because what happens next is based on above. results
  7. one more, the 2003 monitor has dead CCFL tubes and is useless as lead balloon.
why own any IDE (PATA) only mobo why own SIS mobo they are junk with zero support same as VIA and Nforce junk all at EOL. long ago. stuck in VISTA Land for eternity.but linux can run, do you like Ubuntu?
