Compatable gigabyte ga 81915pm motherboard




By windsor_mike on Feb 12, 2009

I have a gigabyte ga 81915pm motherboard which has stopped booting up ( doesnt even load BIOS) I thought I would buy another motherboard and put my old Pentium 4 processor in it. But what type of motherboard is compatable with my processor?

- It died after I tried to clone the drive using Norton Ghost 10.0 .
Gradually got worse until now it tries repeatedly to boot up BIOS but just bleeps and then tries again and again . all fans running , etc

- Not H/drive as have tried no drive and other drives and different SATA sockets.
PC does not get as far as F8 so thats a no go.
Just 2 bleeps and then it dies , occasionally the screen will flash the Packard Bell logo but only for a second.
Havn't added memory or any other hardware.
I was getting blue screen of death with some instruction problem in Outlook Express for some time before the PC finally died. This was probably the mother board getting sick and nothing to do with Outlook Express, it just so happened thats the program that I run all the time.

- So back to my original question(s) ( and thank you everyone who took the time to respond to my problem )
Is a Pentium 4 a LGA775 socket ?
and will any MB with LGA775 socket do.
will I have to format HD? Or will my HD work with new MB?

Clarification Request

are you sure you have'nt added memory
i don't think the motherboard is dead

can you press f8 while in restart and try to get to safemode

your system is absolutely dead
you hear no fans or sounds
when did it last work
did you add anything new

you may not have to format
you should be okay
are you sure power supply is not going
remove cd drive and boot see if you can get to safemode
Are you sure you have'nt had pc opened and maybe loosened a memory
I still don't think it's the motherboard.I would go more for a memory or power supply problem
let me know

I had a problem similar to this with my old Gigabyte motherboard. What happened, was that somehow, the motherboard's hard drive mounting points were corrupting.
I was able to solve this issue by changing where the hard drives were plugged into the motherboard. It's merely a bandaid solution and may not solve the problem permanently, as I had the problem occur about 3 times.

I would suggest removing one drive (hard drive, CD drive, etc.) at a time to see if it will boot the BIOS when the drive is unplugged. If this does not work, I would think that the motherboard may be dead.

I think you can try all LGA775 MB.
BTW, it worked before? or you changed anything?
Maybe you can try other memories.
