    so did this PC run for years and fail now, not told
    history matters. or found it dead. or bought it dead.
    your post is only a MOBO, A PC has many parts not just a DIY MOBO.
    no PSU told no things connected or if GPU card is present at all.
    No DDR memory told test them 1by1. max is 3.2GB(4G phy ) DDR2 667/800MHz.
    Sata drives?
    the problem is. age and bad parts of assembling a relic, PC.
    G31 is old.(intel G31) July 2007 born.
    no CPU told , many even g31 rated do not work here and must be on ASROC QVL list for CPU, or it will fail.
    so you are playing with a 7 year old mobo.
    and the coin cell is wrong

    the LED blink means power failure do not hot swap anything inside the PC, with out first removing AC power cored to PSU
    no PSU told and some this old are bad, bad CAPS inside
    but none told. maker nor model or wattage told.
    first test the mobo with no GPU cards, no PCI-e cards no sata drives, and just 1stick of ram.

    forget booting hDd (for now or any dead PC )
    learn to get BIOS working first. stripped down.
    BIOS must work all pages, and that means new coin cell battery(CMOS). max spec life is 7 years, bingo..
    jumpers on mobo not set wrong.

First of all, check if there are any inflated capacitors, if there is even one- ditch MBO, other capacitors will soon follow. If no inflated capacitors proceed with these diagnostic steps: 1/ disconnect all peripherials (DVD, HDD, card reader...), leave only MBO, PSU and RAM (and CPU of course); if nothing happens 2/remove CMOS battery (CR2032) for 20-30 sec with power cord disconected from computer, that will reset BIOS; 3/ take out RAM sticks, then, if you have more than one stick, try with each stick separately (it might be faulty RAM); 4/power on MBO without any RAM-if speaker is present it should give BEEP signals; 5/ try with different PSU, many power supplies are faulty even when they do give power to MBO.
If nothing of above does not help than you have faulty MBO, because CPUs are so rare to fail that in my 10 years of experience in PC service I had 3-4 fried CPU-s, and even that was because costumer tried to clean PC, removed CPU cooler and than incorrectly placed it back or didn't put thermal paste afterwards.

    2006-8 mother board.
    the manual is here at makers site
    https://download.asrock.com/Manual/G31M-...

    that is correct PSU have many failure modes
    dead or weak rail DC.
    noise (ripple spec) on rails due to bad caps.
    power on logic dead.
    power OK logic dead.
    overheats fast, gee 13 years of nasty lint inside packing up fan and its fan dead too.
    not told that. OP
    I load bank test my PSU and scope them for noise under full load, this is what works best but my shop is full of top instruments.

    this mobo does have a beeper for sure if not lost seen here.
    this beeper is polarize and means dead if plugged in backwards
    + to + , and - to -
    no other way works.
    if is connected right and does not beep now
    that means mobo is 100% dead, PSU dead.
    if PSU fan is dead that means,
    PSU is dead or mobo has shorted devices on t.
    the PSU fan means 12vdc is dead (rail)
    and that is caused by
    fan PSU stalled in lint
    PSU dead
    or mobo has hard shorts, 100% power overload.
    missing ram beeps or wrong ram.
    CPU bent pins , no beeps are common, for this.

    all evercons caps on this mobo are JUNK.
    the all leak or are bad. well known.

    this is your same mobo, see it"?

    one mobo like this NIB sold on ebay for 99cents
    I bid 0

    the now 15 year old coin cell is no good.
    not possible good that old 2 times live (2x7=14years) 7 EOL spec, so is step one.
    and sure bad caps. sure.

    15 year old PC and monitor and coin ?
    the monitor is dead, CCFL 100% dead now.
    they last 5 years online, used 10hr a day
    and the backlamps are dead. like clock work
    the PSU and mobo both have bad caps.
    both that same age, as it would be untouched by humans for 15 years, now.
    my guess find this cheap in a flea market for $1 as is.
    and is dead. RIP junk, G31 has no support nor any future of any kind,
    buy PC H77 up, and win (chip set 2010 up)
    G31 is series 3 , and zero dot zero support.

I have ASrock P4vm800,Prescott800,Pentium 4 Pro.But i need a help.When it is powered up nothing happenes except the system unit ligth up,& chassis font panel ligth is blinking Continously.Cpu fan...

There is a verity of things you can check & or replace. You mentioned the CPU fan is not turning. This is very very important.
This suggests possible CPU fan is defective. Average life span for a CPU fan is 5 years or 50,000 hours. Your MB uses Intel PGA socket 478. For a replacement heatsink & fan assembly open the link provided;
http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-A4012-Cooler-Intel-Socket/dp/B000FEW8JW/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_0
A new heatsink assembly will come with a new fan attached to the heatsink.
It should also come with new thermal past or thermal tape attached to the bottom of the heatsink assembly.

As to the front panel LED light blinking continuously.
If the LED light is red in color this means your primary hard disk drive is trying to load windows.
My suggestion is for you to replace the CPU heatsink assembly first.
No need to remove the CPU from its socket at this time.
If you never replaced the Heatsink & fan assembly watch the video included below;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OB1hxxKdec
Once completed your system should function correctly.
If it doesn't, post you’re finding here & I'll help you further.

Cheers'
Mike

I was using my asrock G31M-S destop when it went off. now when i turn on the system , the motherboard fan,and power supply fan spins for a few seconds and then stops. what do i do?

The power supply might be bad, or you might be drawing too much current due to a short elsewhere. If you can get your hands on a compatible power supply, I'd try that first. You can unhook plugs to try to pinpoint a short (in a CD, DVD player, etc. Get an estimate on an estimate from a computer shop, in case all else fails.

My monitor is not responding to anything. what can i do aside from rebooting?

do you see the light blinking in the monitor? I mean the POWER led light up? If so, then the monitor is ok and is working good. It is your CPU which has a problem and not sending digital signal for the monitor to display.
Try to turn off your computer. After 3 minutes turn it back on. then notice if you will hear a short beep from the CPU. That signals a successful video initialization. If you went through that process, then your computer will get back to life.
However, if you dont hear a short beep from the CPU, then definitely your CPU is frozen therefore there is nothing to display to the monitor.
You need to open the CPU case, pull out memory modules then plug them back in. Then try booting.
If not successful, try to open case and pull out the processor. Put it back in after 30 seconds. Try booting again.
Do ALL THESE while your PC is UNPLUGGED.
Good luck.

AsRock Motherboard won't boot. Need Advice.

Here's the solution!

Check if NUM lock glows if tapped on the Keyboard ::

Yes - If your Power LED is blinking change the SMPS, if it is Solid, change the I/O cables or RAM or Display Adaptr - whichever you think the problem to be.

N0 - Change the board.

PS. If processor is the problem, CPU fans won't spin in the first place.

POWER

remove ram memory - it should beep when you switch it on - if no beep then check CPU in socket and cpu fan spinning when on.
