20 Most Recent Asrock P4VT8+ P4 PT800 Prescott Ready Motherboard (MOTASR19) Questions & Answers

Italian to Eng Hi everyone I have a problem with the mobo asrock p4vt8 + when the boot gives me this screen: scan devices please wait ... press <tab> key into user window! serial_ch0 master: no device serial_ch1 master: no device cmos settings wrong press f2 to run setup press f1 to load default values and continue but when I press f1 or f2 the computer freezes, I want to make it recognize the hd ide but I don't know how to do it ! thanks in advance the coin cell battery is dead or the hdd is dead there are 2 cures. 1: new battery and reset bios. 2: test the hDD if bad , it must be replaced and new OS installed.

First, check the PSU on another puter if available. If it works, the MB is the most likely culprit.
Check the capcitors (round tower looking things around the MB). If any are bulging or show brown "dirt", the MB needs replacing unless you know how to replace capacitors (Youtube has tutorials if your brave enough).
You may also have a damaged southbridge. Ebay may have replacement chips (replacing is similar to the capacitors).

Ask a question please?

If the computer boots or it seems like it booted up all the way except the screen is black try the steps below:If it is a laptop:

Shine a flashlight on the dark screen to see if you barely see the icons on the desktop. If so, then the LCD Inverter is bad. Plug in an external monitor and see if the display shows up on it. It can be any kind of monitor even the old big fat crt monitors as long as it has a vga cable to connect to your computer's vga port. If so that proves your video card is ok. The video will show on most systems when you reboot without you having to do anything. Some systems will require you to hit the FN (Function key) + F1 thru F12. Hold down the FN key then hit the correct key for displaying on the monitor (F1 thru F12). The correct key will normally have CRT/LCD on it or it will have the icon of a display. If you see no icons by shinning a flash light and the external monitor works, then your screen is bad. If you see no icons by shinning the flash light and nothing shows on the external monitor, then most likely your video card is bad. If it is a Desktop: Try using another monitor on the computer. Borrow a monitor from a neighbor, friend, relative or co-worker and connect it to the computer. If the Borrowed monitor displays and works ok, then your original monitor is bad. If the Borrowed monitor does the same as your original monitor and not display then your Video Card in the computer is bad.If the computer is not powering on or did not boot up all the way try the steps below:

When you plug in the power cord is there any lights whatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of the power cord? When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning, lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear the DvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for a second or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, but the screen is not showing for some reason. Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with the laptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issue when you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous. Most times the problem is with the memory or Video Card. Count the Blinking Lights or Beeps and take note of their pattern (1 Long or 1 Long followed by 2 Short). Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoever when you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you was operating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cord is bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the power cord is bad. Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove the Battery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the battery out) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can put the battery back in and let it charge.

Maybe your DC Power Jack which is where the power cord plugs into the computer is bad. Take an ink pen and push the tip inside the jack and see if the little pin wiggles, if so the jack is bad. You'll have to take the laptop apart to fix it. Most times it is soldered onto the motherboard, so you will have to desolder the old and solder a new one.

Maybe your memory is bad or the memory slot is bad.

Remove the Power Cord, (If desktop Open the Case) (if Laptop, Remove the battery, Remove the cover that houses the memory) and remove one of the memory chips. Set the chip aside then try rebooting the computer. If it boots, then you know the memory chip you set aside is bad so mark an x on it with an ink pen. If it fails to boot then move the chip to the next memory slot and try rebooting. If it fails take the chip out and set it aside, then put the other chip in and try booting it in both slots. If it boots, just to verify that the chip set aside is bad, mark an x on it and put it into the open memory chip slot and try booting.

You can fidn the drivers here http://www.nodevice.com/driver/category/SOUND.html or http://www.asrock.com/MB/download.asp?Model=P4VT8%2B

Only supported OS are Xp and 2000 for windows for listed drivers but vista and 7 probably have all the drivers needed.

This looks to be a msi board you can use the smart driver loader on the website

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it you might have to uninstall then restart your computer then reinstall both the sound drivers and the sound card make sure you have both of these devices backed up to a disc before uninstalling a yellow? question mark means you need to install/update driver to do this right click to install driver also click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select appropriate speakers also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there also click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar if his does not fix the problem

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) hope this helps

real asrock mobo told ,just the intel chipset code H110the bios controls that in bios disable iGPU. no cpu told either as some have no igpu at all.like xeons, and some mobo can run both i3+ and zeons.see this search at asrocksee how your post has no real clues?https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?Model=h11029 mobo made based on only intel chipet.

double posted you?of 29mobo not one told.https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?Model=h110the bios page,labeled, igpu (disable /enable ) is there.some mobo allow zeon here with zero igpu.but not yoursthey make h110 ,mobo just for useless now, bitcoin mining.watch the netflix movie how the blocked mining,then save moneyalso learn what ROI is?

Check Ram and fun if not properly installed

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.

3 post all the same mobo and all 3 same reasons. and all 3 same answers. zero no I added one, coin cell is dead at 7 years, you are 2004 to 2018 late to the party. 14 year old battery is 2 times spec life. for sure.
