I have 5 ECS GeForce6100SM-M Socket AM2 networked computers that do exactly the same thing . I have replaced them because they are not dependable.Some of them will boot if I warm them up by editing boot.ini to 5 minutes or sometimes pressing f8 and choosing safemode with networking rarely. I feel that all of them have a defective power supply that corrupt the hardrive after shutting down abruptly, there should be a recall on the power supply's

Hi, Based on your post/description, it appears to be a hardware issue. Check that you have a 300watt PSU (or higher) preferably with 24 pins (ATX v2.x). Perhaps you can try to do an R&R, remove and reinstall everything especially the power connector, memory and video card (if add-on). It may also be worth your while to reset the BIOS/CMOS to default and try again. If problem persist, then perhaps it will be to your advantage to have the motherboard replaced. Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.

Wire colors do vary from case to case. Colored wires are more often positive where white is common for negative. As you look at you're case wires you will find one color in common with most of the jumpers. This common color will be positive.
The internal speaker wire colors are red for positive and black for negative.
