You need to check the CMOS battery first , if it not having proper voltage (3V) it is to be replaced (CR2032) or check the cnos jumper settings.

I have this exact same mobotherboard. Did you install the chipset drivers? You need to download and install the nforce3 chipset driver. It includes the nic driver and all other things you're probably missing besides video and sound.

I should tell you that my onboard NIC had problems on this motherboard. Sometimes it would lose connection, sometimes it would make my pc take 5 minutes to boot up when the cable was plugged in or just crash my computer.

I just use a PCI nic now. But you'll want to install that driver anyway. If you use a PCI nic, then go to Control Panel, Network Connections and right click the nforce nic and click Disable.

try checking if its conencted properly. have you tried using a different RAM on it? if the different RAM chip worked then your DIMM is broken, if not still, it must be your motherboard that has the problem.

Here is the link to the manual:

seems like you won't be able to obtain drivers for this m/b from the manufacturer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPoX However there appear lots of places who can provide drivers - search the internet for "Epox ep 8npa7i" and take your pick - I don't know how good/reliable any of the purveyors are, nor can I recommend a source for drivers that work. 26.December.2014
