First off all please make sure that your crt is connected to your graphics card directly not your onboard crt port.

after this please go to your bios and choose your pcie card as your default video card.

Once done please save all sitting and restart your pc.

Hope this solve your problem.

try to instal windows xp sp2 my is work.or download the lastest bios driver update on your motherboard company

Yes it will.
Here are the requirements needed to run it

PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard

450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode).

Your board has the Pci-ex16 slot and the Corsair has the power to run it.

the card should work with your motherboard, but you may have to upgrade your power supply

in your system you can do it by tapping del or f1 while your pc reboot
then in the bios setup you can do it

It's the onboard video try removing the CMOS battery and placing it back in after serveral hours, if that doen;t work it's the onboard Video replace it with a PCI Express Video Card.

try to re install the audio driver or dowload it http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Index.aspx?MenuID=0&LanID=9

then if the same problem. check the hardware the audio device

This board is notorious for the audio going out on it.

You can try a bios update to see if it addresses the problem.

Otherwise you might have to just buy a pci audio card.

They're $20 or less so it might be worth it to just pick one up instead of spending hours trying to solve your problem.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best of luck!

The two closest to the cpu are DIMMs 1 and 2, The next pair are DIMMs 3 and 4 it is best to install in pairs, using slots 1 and 2 first.
