MY PC IS NOT PLAYING SONGS BECAUSE MY PC IS NOT HAVING DRIVERS I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD 945GCT MOTHERBOARD DRIVERS

there may just be a short in your board of a device connected to your board as u said the previous problem was solved by video card as it was because the video card was faulty which was giving the problem!!
so before going in for a new board try to check each and every part separately u might find the faulty part or then it may be the boards problem!!
because if without checking all the devices if u get a new board and then u find the problem still and because of just some device then it will be a waste!!!
so try this, reply and rate me!

If the "250" is referring to the PSU's wattage, I think we have found the problem. Please purchase a 500 watt or higher PSU with a 80 percent silver or higher rating and you will be back up and running, that is if the motherboard is indeed good.
