Problem is Power Supply, or Electrolytic Capacitors on motherboard.

A Power Supply with a failing voltage power rail, will show these symptoms

Around the Processor (CPU) you will see there are Solid Polymer Capacitors. Small 'aluminum can's with a blue mark on top. (One side on top)

However there are also Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, on that board.

See if any are bad;

SOURCE: Where is the Bios reset

Based on the layout below, the jumper to reset your BIOS is to the left of the SATA connectors. It should be markes JCMOS1.

Follow these procedures to clear the CMOS data :
1. Remove AC power line.
2. Set the jumper to "Pin 2-3".
3. Wait for at least five seconds.
4. Set the jumper to "Pin 1-2".
5. Power on the AC.

SOURCE: Biostar motherboard resumes power after shutdown

There is an option called Wake On Lan. Check your BIOS and disable that option. The name may differ, instead of WAN it may say PCI. Take a look.

The second part is the NIC. Look for wake up options. I'm logged in Windows right now and it has that options setting. So does iOS. I imagine so does Ubuntu. I'll check next time I reboot into Ubuntu.

My computer hangs up when

id you recently upgrade your PC, change its components, or test a setting in the BIOS that now stops it from power up all the way? Here's how to reset your BIOS.

First of all, if you have, read the manual to the motherboard and look for BIOS or CMOS Reset.

Generally, the easiest and least fiddly method is to remove the power cord from the computer, open it and look for a button battery (usually bigger than the ones in a watch) remove it for for five or ten minutes. Theoretically this should work.

If no manual is handy and removing the battery did not work try the following:

Power down your PC.

#Locate a rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), and switch it from the on position (I) to the off position (O). If there is no switch disconnect the power cord from power supply.

#Find the 3-pin jumper near the power supply on the motherboard, typically labeled "clear cmos" or "reset bios".

#Remove the jumper from the default position (typically connecting the 1st and 2nd pins).

#Replace the jumper to connect the 2nd and 3rd pins.

#Push the power button on the front of your PC once.

#Wait a minute.

#Return the jumper to its default position, connecting the 1st and 2nd pins.

#Move the rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), to the on (I) position.

#Power on your PC with its front power button.



If it doesn't work go to alternate options.

#open Command Prompt , click Start Menu > Run > type CMD (enter).

#type debug (enter).

#then type this bellow code

o 70 10



o 71 20

type quit.

exit

I have a P43-A7 motherboard and ATI Radeon HD 3600 series PCI-e graphic card on it. The system worked ok till few days ago. The system crushed several times at day continuosley till now. I can see the BSOD...

It really depends on your budget, if you play games, how much space you have inside the case and what PSU (power supply unit) you have.
A good video card it's the ATI HD5750 or the ATI HD5770, it's not huge, and should play games, although maybe not with the maximum settings.
If you want to go NVIDIA i would suggest a NVIDIA GTX560 or GTX460.

(this works cause the motherboard reset it's bios and start correctly again).

The motherboard comes on when the power suppy is switched on. even with no ram or hard disk it turns on and gives no beeps.

this issue is a possible mother board going bad or a power supply switch that is "open and needs replacement. I tend to go towards the latter. Replace the power supply.

Sata hdd not detected

Yes, go into the bios and make sure that SATA is turned on. Sometimes with motherboards that have two ide controllers the SATA is turned off by default. Also another thing to check is whether the motherboard is SATA I or SATA II. If it is SATA I then change the jumper on the hard drive to peg back to SATA I. Your new hard drive is SATA II and the motherboard may not support it.

Boot Problem with biostar 945 GZ SE Micro Socket 775

you may have a short somewhere, maybe against the pc case or a cmos chip fault. You could have stressed the board when fitting the tv card, or the motherboard was simply faulty at purchase. You will have to reset the bios by the shorting terminals (refer to manual) as removing the battery alone does not always reset the bios.
