RAM incompatibility or PSU problem.

Throw it out im having nothing but problems with Motherboard has never worked

Since there are 2 versions for this motherboard (rev1.0 and rev1.1) I suggest to get a closer look at the motherboard in order to find the typed model number and the version that you have. Afterwards go at this official link choose your own motherboard and download the drivers you asked for.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.

To recover your motherboard bios and bring it back to life, you will need this following things:

1. Floppy Drive: It is needed to load the Boot Disk and the new BIOS update.
2. Boot Floppy: It is needed to load the basic operating system, preferably MS DOS.
3. ISA Video Card: Optional, but can simply the recovery process.

Notes:
A startup disk can be automatically built from the Add/Remove Programs applet within the control panel. The boot disk is a vital part of this guide, though users with WinNT/2K will need to build this boot disk from a system running MS-DOS or Win9x/ME.

You can obtain it also from this website: www.Bootdisk.com

Be sure to copy all needed BIOS utilities and update/backup files used during the original flash process to this disk as well.

After making the boot disk, delete the config.sys and autoexec.bat in the boot disk. It can be found in the disk primary directory path.

Create your own autoexec,bat. Using a notepad, build the autoexec.bat file by putting all the command lines in flashing a BIOS.

The approach for using flash utility from AMI or Phoenix is similar, but be sure to read the provided help information about each command line option before building the autoexec.bat entry. Create the text command entry, and then save to the file "autoexec.bat" in drive A: . This will load the command at floppy boot time, regardless of whether an ISA video card is available.

Max Bus Speed: 400 MHz

Hi,
As the computer starts up hit the Del key, that will take you into the BIOS utility, once in the BIOS load optimized defaults, this will reset the BIOS configuration.
Failing this just remove the power cord from the back of the computer and take the motherboard battery out for 20 minutes, this will fully reset the BIOS so you will have to input the time and date.



Regards.

I would suggest either opening up your pc and reseting the bios, either by removing the the flat battery for a couple of mins, or if that doesn't work there may be a jumper or switch you can change that does this. I searched online but was unable to find any instructions for you.

You can either contact Gigabyte direct for instructions or try flashing your bios, both of which you can do from here:-

Take note of the warnings when flashing the bios.

If you have a 550w+ power supply you can run a Ati Radeon 3850 HD.

It supports all 4X AGP cards. The max you can get for 4X is 256MB. Nvidia GeForce series has some nice cards for these specs.

well if the board support till 400FSb then the 533FSb CPU will not work with the board did you check the website and he board manual that says it support upto 533 bus?

there is no PCI lock on any retail boards. But there are IRQ sharings and conflicts. Set IRQ to auto, if not, then manualy and if so, then disable a few things, just to free up some IRQs. All depends on the board, best is to consult the manual for the IRQ sharing table and work with that. (disable one SERIAL, IDE port or USB port if you need an extra IRQ) Also check for onboard equivalent to the card you are adding, disable the onboard part...

Hi hamideh, your board can Supports up to 3GB PC100/133 SDR-SDRAM Dual memory module DIMM's

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/

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
