You can use a PCI-E or AGP type of video cad on this motherboard, here is the complete details about this motherboard.

Go into the bios area and ensure that the video is switched to the slot your new video card is using, (PCIE, AGP etc)..

Shut off windows system restore. (A must do first).
Update your antivirus software & perform a full system scan. When completed shut down your system. Unplug the power cord from the power supply. Open your case & touch the metal framing with your hand to discharge any static. Remove your system memory. Wait a minute or two. Re-install your memory. Close up your case. Plug the power cord back into the PS. Power up your system. Check windows for updates. Do not use the Express button. Use the Custom button.
Download all security updates & look to the left and install any hardware updates as well. Restart windows after updating.
There are viruses that attach themselves to *.exe files and they can restart your system. Running a system wide scan and pulling your memory takes any chance of a virus storing its self within your system memory. If this does not stop your system from restarting when opening a program. Uninstall that program. Restart your system. Than reinstall that program. You can turn windows system restore back on when you feel 100% sure your programs function correctly and windows does not restart its self. Create a system restore point.

Hope you find this helpful.
Cheers!

with rams, if the memory it has is higher than that of your cpu, the pc will not boot up or if it is too low compared to your cpu again.

thus, you say it has got two slots right, remove both of the 512's and insert the 1gig only, run your computer, i am sure it will boot up nicely. switch it off. put one 512, if it does not boot then you should know that your ram has an excess of memory that your cpu could not apprehend to.

post a coment if this does not work.

thanks,

reboot your pc and you should be able to listen your favorite music

Hey there alcouto, your motherboard supports Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium 4, and Intel Pentium D processors. The socket set is LGA775. The FSB should be no higher than 800Mhz. It appears you have purchased the wrong CPU for your board. I hope the rest of the info helps you on your next purchase. Good Luck!
