Hello it should be an Emachine/ Gateway mainboard you have.You can download the drivers for free here:http://support.gateway.com/us/en/emac/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=1431Select the driver by click on the download linkPlease unzip the file before installation.Good luck

More than likely one of the drivers is bad. Hit F8 several times at startup until the boot screen comes up, select boot into "safe mode with networking" .Use device manager and see if there are any problems. You can delete the drivers, and download & install new drivers if you find problems.

Do you mean as specific as specifications can get? If so, I was able to retrieve a pdf technical doc for am37. reply to this post to confirm. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/nicole_525c14680d45ee5d

Connect to FAN 2

It needs to be connected to the F_PNL connector, located near the battery.
It has the following pin assignment:

L+ L- P P x
H+ H- R R N

L ... Power LED
P ... Power button
x ... missing pin
H ... HDD LED
R ... Reset button
N ... not connected

Your board supports two memory sticks totaling 2GB. (1GB each) It supports "PC2100 DDR" and "PC2100 DDR266" (Dual Dynamic RAM) DIMM modules.

Page 13 has an illustration for the info you want.

Remove bios battery and erase new bios (usually a pair of pins to short). If USBs now work - don't upgrade bios! If bios settings have no setting for diabling USB, motherboard failrure seems likely. Try a PCI USB card to provide sockets.

What the name of your tower

Without having the specs on the motherboard or knowing how old it is, it's difficult to say if it is beyond repair. Although my experience with computers shutting down that quickly while attempting to boot have been a problem related to processor overheating. Processors get very hot within seconds of powering on. If the processor cooling fan or the thermal paste is not working as intended the system will shut down quickly. You may want to check those two possibilities before purchasing a new motherboard.

No, AM 37 is a socket A motherboard (old), your cpu is new may be socket AM2. look at ebay for AMD socket AM2 motherboard.

There are a number of issues that may be causing your problem.

1. Be certain that the power connection is properly installed; there are usually two connections not one that go from the power supply to the motherboard.

2. Be certain that there is no metal on metal contact between the motherboard and the case. Most modern cases include nylon snap-fit spacers that hold the motherboard to the case but also use brass spacers with screws. There should be red paper gaskets included in the parts bag - place these between the motherboard and the screw and be certain that the base ring (a silver metal ring that is not connected to circuits on the underside of the board) is cleanly centered.

3. Finally there are often switch settings and/or tab jumpers that must be set to declare the CPU type, voltage and speed. Be certain that these are set correctly or the board will not power up.

Conclusion

It is difficult to provide any further tips due to the limited information provided and more information may help.
