2003 relic, seen in garagesales for $1 and useless as UGO car.
have your tech do that, and not blow up parts doing worn things./
smacks of bad PSU, going over voltage. or below, SSDD.
The CMOS coin cell is NO GOOD, replace it first, or BIOS goes MAD. !!!
the jumpers on MoBo must be set first. (next) all of them. per manual. the manual is fee and easy to find googling.
cpu put in backwards or bent pins cpu has gold corner pin 1 mark.
not using both PSU cables to MOBO 4pin and 24pin
the CPU has a fan , it can never be allowed to be missing or dead.

the free manual did you read it first. and ask a tech how to
set it up, and how not to hot swap parts.

nor send 230vac (no country told) to the PSU set to 115vac slider set wrong and blow it all to H3LL?
this trash mobo has VIA chip set that nobody on earth supports now.
XP era yes, now , NO !

using the wrong voltage AGP card blows them both up
as the manual warned you, did you read that" first.
best is AVOID AGP cards totally as 1/2 are not going to work ever.
worse no sata ports and no IDE ports.

other guy blew the card, in 2004 and sat forever dead. RIP
if mobo as vga jack rear of mobo (some dont) use that first
test with no cards in the MOBO at all.
the via chip set works in BIOS but will fail in all modern OS tried.
XP yes.

and quote
This motherboard supports Windows 98 to XP
redHat, SuSE, TurboLinux and Caldera operating systems (OS).

blowing it up is ok it has zero value good or bad. so is a wash.

SOURCE: cpu fan noisy/chip fan fail error messages

I had tons of problems with these Asus chip fans. I asked Asus to deliver 12 replacements (as I had a lot of pcs at that time with the same problem) It worked well, but placing a tiny heatsink well glued to the chip worked well also, as long as one does not want to overclock the thing. It's true that the temp raised a bit, but it remained pretty much in the tolerance area.

SOURCE: K8S-LA mobo heat sink fell off.

That is the 'Northbridge' chip that provides the I/O interfacing for the main chip. The heat sink is normally held on with glue as you surmised, and should be re-done with a thermal conductive glue. The glue (a silver filled epoxy) is available from MCM electronics or from Mouser. Be sure to thoroughly clean the chip and heat sink before re-gluing.

SOURCE: screen black out, but the cpu fan is running.

it could be two reasons.
1. your RAM has a issue ( try a different ram from a friends pc)

2. your Graphics card is having an issue. ( try removing & fixing back on, if it does notwork.. either get a friends graphics card & ifix on to your pc & chk or fix your VGA card on to another PC & chk if the VGA card works. either way you will find out what wrong.

let me know the out come.

hope it works
cheers..

SOURCE: No beep,No Display on my monitor,only CPU heatsink fan is moving

You motherboard has onboard video. It's possible it needs to be disabled and the option changed to use the pci or pci-express slot for the Ati card you installed. Since you have no post error beeps this is the best place to start. Also I had built a system not to long ago and had a similar problem. Resetting the cmos on the motherboard (usually a pin combo) solved the issue.

Start by hooking up your vga cable to the onboard video.

Hope this helps.

System overheating after boot up

First open Task MGR and make sure your CPU is not spiking, running it's full speed because a program or virus, trojan.

If the CPU is only at 1-10 percent then it's the fan.

No video \green led near keyboard, hdd drive light indicator and wireless lights turn on. green power indicator on ad adapter, tried two different batteries. cpu fan not spinning...this thing will boot...

You can try doing these:

Clearing the CMOS, i.e. Unplug power cord and take out battery, then put them back in.

Cross check the components such as heatsink/fan, video card, and processor. It is never good to have a heatsink with the fan not spinning.

Check to see if the heatsink is cold, warm or hot. It shouldn't be cold OR hot.

Cpu fan runs at high speed all the time

the problem is that the mother board you are now using has a 4th wire that sences cpu temp this allow the heat sink fan to change speed to get this to work correctly you will need to replace the fan with a 4 wire style. what is happening is your not getting a temp siginal back to motherboard so the fan controller think it hot and send full power to fan alll the time the stock fan in hp systems is not very good any way .Get a good heat sink and fan to fit your new board ebay has them very cheap 5.00 to 20.00 this will all so increase you system temp and all get the proper cooling when you really need it.
