Is the hard drive SATA? This board only supports 1.5 gig data transfer. If your drive is SATA II then you need to limit the drive to 1.5 with a jumper

Como saber si la placa p4m800-m7a soporta varios tipos de prosesador

transLated:
How to know if the p4m800-m7a board supports various types of processor, 2005 MOBO RELIC. XP ERA.

What types of processors are supported.

ask them only they know this,(OOPS THEY FORGOT)
they check it in there bios too so bios must be current to allow maximum CPU choices.
the maker does not support antique MOBO now.
this mobo was made in 8 versions !, which is yours?
this is VIA chip set relic, no OS supports that now modern.
P4 is the CPU and Old Pentium D
socket 775 only. CPU, M7A LAYOUT.
BIOSTAR ENDED SUPPORT, (ASK THEM YET?)(gone)

HERE IS THE MASTER LIST (MEANS PURE LOGIC)

click 775 then click Pentium D
this is the AMD chip logic list not what 2005 year bios allows, (lost now that)

https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-VIA_(chipsets)/P4M800.html

buy one and try, but all the other chips too are obsolete and not supported in newer OS. (above XP 2001)

Sound driver

Your motherboard is a BIOSTAR right ?

Ok there are 2 versions I will post the drivers for those 2 versions.

P4M800-M7A v1.0
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en%2Dus/mb/driver.php?S_ID=92

These are the complete drivers, the sound driver is there too under onboard audio.

P4M800-M7A v7.0
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en%2Dus/mb/driver.php?S_ID=93

From what I can see they both use the same drivers.

I hope this helps.

The elitegroup website has a similar name but no A at the end
P4M800-M7
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=531&DetailName=Driver&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=6&LanID=0

So from your model I would say it is a biostar, get it from the links above, if it is an elitegroup (ECS) get it from the last link.

Computer freezes during game

first of all you should know that even though pentium 4 isn't that old there are still some problems, for example the d processor uses sd-ram or ddr1 ram which are much slower that ddr2 and ddr3 "ddr1 isn't that slow" but if u're using SD-ram then u might wanna upgrade your rams a bit.
