Usually it is on the manual with the mother board you bought, in any case that its not,

try looking to a bunch of pins along the corner with a marking pw | rs | spk | hdd | led |
pw - power
rs - reset
spk -speaker
hdd - hdd power (red blinking light)
led - green light (power)

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/

gigabyte.com ask them only. the records are secret , them to you only based on serial number of the mobo. do not post serial numbers or risk losing your warranty. learn to go there, only.

ok, a simple hardware question only. w10 could careless about PSU. (facts) mobo is micro atx size 24.4cm x 24.4cm not powering up has many causes, even simply stuck in sleep mode. (power on button held for 10seonds and released last is 1 cure. of about 20 causes (up to) GA-F2A78M-D3H (rev. 3.0)or rev. 4.0????? rev is on bottom left of mobo, normal tower case. no case told the PSU is called ATX and all work here 500 to 750watts 24 pin power is normal but CPU power uses 8 pin power plug PSU.marked ATX12v psu lacking 8 pin, can use 4 to 8 adpater. vast here work, in real ATX case not micro cases. https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=psu+atx&N=4131%20100007657%20600014006%20600479294&isdeptsrh=1&Order=1 from you manual . dead PC are all fans dead.> that is dead PC. the monitor must be good and connected the the VGA jack if using GPU card then it must connect to the monitor the BIOS screen must work or the PC is dead or GPU card is dead. strip the PC down ,any thing in the PC shorted will make PC dead. if strip down tests fail the PSU may be bad is its fan dead too? both power connectors most be connected above or PC will be dead.

That motherboard has 4 SATA 2.0 slots. Should work well. You said "hard drive" so I am assuming you do not mean Solid State drive (SSD) I am surprised you are using Windows 7 with that MB

Hi Please provide more information. What do you want to do with your creative sub and your stereo receiver ? The Creative Sub has been built for the PC and doesn't design for RCA Jacks... if I understand your question you are gonna connect your sub to the receiver ... if so... then you need 3.55 mm audio jack to RCA Audio convertor... Please give some more and specific info about your problem.

Hi, What are the specs of the RAM you added??

the mobo is fully covered at Gigabyte.com we are not them more have 10,000 manuals here. at all this https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-G41MT-S2P-rev-13#ov its all there to read, 24/7 form 2010 to 2022 still. the audio may be dead on newer oS as audio chip maker went EOL Dead. w7 is max.

yes

remove all hardware on the board , .clear cmos jumper , remove cmos bat , then discarge the capasitors

talk to gigabyte.com is the cooler not from gigabytes is that it? so is this below? i guess you meant Model# GZ-FW1CA-AJS go back to air or upgrade to far better cooling this is not. cheap cooling is no good. will not last. also above is know for bad corrosion inside, rule #2 buy cooling only from makers that see spare parts for it. or is doomed. the manual shows no parts list for sure water level so needs new water tank I guess, why not ask maker for support no PC store sells parts for this custom case.(turn key is seems) or defeat that switch and just look at level at step 1 , before turned on. (that is what I would do, but sure back to AIR

whats your question ?

This sounds very much like a faulty motherboard if it continually reboots. Try accessing the BIOS using the F8 key, however check you manual to make sure your motherboard uses the F8 key. If you can access the BIOS, it would be worth doing a complete reset to factory defaults and see if this fixes the problem. If you cannot access the BIOS, then you will be looking at a new motherboard.

it is only a USB mouse and works on any pC really. w7 needs no special driver for this mouse ever, it uses PnP, plug and play and the internet must be active and working for PnP to work is it? not told that. your failed computer is all messed up with w7 even infected monza is w7, 2012 made (year) the usb ports are first not mouse the device manager must show all USB ports have good drivers, and you test them using a USB stick of thumbdrive memory to be sure they do work, and if does good or use USB keyboard to test usb ports all if all that works then the mouse is tried. and internet connected and the mouse to when connected must show up in device manager. and actually function/

What kind of optical drive?

Have you checked to see if your router has a small reset button? This may reset it to factory settings and possibly reset the password also.

so the PC mobo has and addin, PCI card sound"? 2004 PC mobo relic, now and 13yo to you. no card told. (fail)(buy only w7 allowed card if must) you did say CARD so means NOT ON-BOARD sound chip. relic P4 PC. mobo v1.0 mobo? this trash mobo uses EOL DOA, via chipsets, that do not allow w7 Integrated Realtek ALC662 audio CODEC chip this chip set is dead too, from maker realtek. if you knew that, and added a secret sound card. this mobo only does windows 200o to XP says so on page one at gigabytes this mobo. so w7 does not belong hear unless replacing every thing there that fails 1 by 1, , pain. ive done this vast times, for folks willing to. last xp driver is here for realtek https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/8VM533M-RZ-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver as a rule only this OEM maker PC can make there sound chips work (as a team of parts) not simple as many think, even has mixer chips and more, all custom to maker. yes cards work better, on this mobo the VIA chip and codec chip must work or sound will be dead. and is common this. lacking no vista driver up, ever/ this mobo has no SATA ports nor any PCI express card slots at all. and finding PCI (non express) cards that can run w7 can be hard. for sure now. yes possible, with careful searching specs of relic PCI cards. also the VIA chip dead makes The ethernet port dead too. and usb dead and IDE drives dead,vista up. never buy VIA chipped mobo. or pain is all there is. no drivers.
