Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

Uninstall the device from device manager.
Get the latest driver for the product from the particular website.
Connect the hardware now.
Install the drivers for that particular harware.
It will work perfectly then.
Follow the above for both the products errors.

first of all right click on the yellow shield you will get a pop out menu choose update driver if that not help then you have to reinstall your hardware

Currently the Western Digital VelociRaptor is the fastest SATA 3.0 hard drive on the market. They are only available in 150GB and 300GB.
I recommend www.newegg.com and ship Fed Ex (UPS drops things)

The only way to make them faster is to use RAID0 which is not worth the risk because if one disk fails you lose everything. Any other form of RAID would actually be slower than a single disk. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID)

However, using multiple disks and assigning each a task will also improve performance. For example, install Windows on one disk and install all of your programs and data on another disk.

The latest trend is Solid State Disks (SSD). They are like USB flash drives designed to work the same as an IDE or SATA hard drive. They are still very new and expensive. They have a wide variation in performance and power consumption and they aren't all measured to the same standards. Personally, I would give these another year or two to stabilize and become mainstream.

Here is an excellent benchmarking website that has always helped me find the best of everything: www.tomshardware.com

I hope this helps.

Hi,
For your hard drive it would require an IDE hard drive for that model motherboard.

2 x UDMA ATA133/100/66 Bus Master IDE ports

As far as the memory

1. Type : DDR333 (PC2700) / DDR266 (PC2100) / DDR200 (PC1600) -184pin
2. Max capacity : Up to 3GB by 3 DIMM slots

so that is 1gb each.
Thank you,
Lee

Most likely you've got a virus or spyware hogging up CPU cycles. Get a good anti-virus/anti-spyware program like Norton/Symantec or Kaspersky and do a full system scan to eliminate viruses and spyware.

Hello, Mike.

In case you still need this:

To find and install the driver for the simple communications controller:

Go to Device Manager and click on the pci simple communications controller

Go to Properties and then Details. You will see a code like PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS...
The VEN code means vendor and the DEV code means device: in the example the vendor is 8086 and the device is 27D8.

Once you have the two codes, go to www.pcidatabse.com. Enter the two codes and you should get the name of your hardware.

From there, you can search for a driver download for your hardware.

Hope this helps.

Go to this site and download the manual. then go to page 23.

hey, check out this site and chose the best to download

Sounds like a power on/power good signal fault. Could be the power supply or the mobo. The voltages can be read at the ATX connector: http://www.formfactors.org/developer\specs\ATX12V_1_3dg.pdf or you can try another if you have a spare power supply to verify whether it is a mobo problem or power supply. Also there are power supply testers but they cost almost as much as an inexpensive power supply. It's an easy replacement task. Steve Medley

If it is not an accumulation of dust and if your fans are working properly and your ventilation is not blocked, that there was not a built-in cooling system for this integrated part makes me wonder what is going on. One would have thought it suggested such was not necessary. How old is the thermal paste in the computer? I would replace that before trying more desperate measures. Rather than presume the fan was working, I'd make sure that it was. Here are some causes and fixes: https://www.onecomputerguy.com/gpu-overheating/

no PC told at all no OS told either. sure a DESKTOP sure. no monitor told nor cable used, VGA, DVI,hdmi, DP i can not see your near black screen at all. cold booted is the PC splash screen dead./? all bios screen dead and all BIOS works even with HDD missing. idle black is sleep mode, a USA law mandates that. iof we do not like sleep mode we disable it in power settings CP CP means control panel this must be your first PC ever? and all go to sleep ,go to walmart see them all in sleep mode now, yes, a USA law called Energy star laws. and all wake up on demand new , unmolested. wiggling the mouse or hammering the space bar ends sleep but not if (again) power settings has USB going to sleep too. why post lacking Pc makers name and OS.windows what gee vast persons on earth ugraded w7 top 10 and now this fails. due to , PC maker told you , no w10 support in this secret PC 4 decades of 100,000 models of PC I can no no guess blind./ Radeon hd 7770 card and 80watt card in fact, oops.????? is this real ATI/AMD card or any of the other 12 makers of cards. ??????????? no full card number told and guess what the watts matter. 250watts is smallest watt PSU, or more if PC is loaded out like mine with 2SSD and 4 SSD and 1DVD and 1 Blue ray and max ddr and more. Power is first after fit, and yours fits so power is next PSU watts and what the card needs let me see that. all hits on this card show it crosses the magic 75watt rule for PCi-2 power of 75watts, and card is 80watts and more dynamically so they maker of the card has a 6 pin 12vdc aux jack that can not be ignored or the card fails, so is that wired up? as it must? yup top rear of card 6 pin aux power in black , steathy that, hard to see at 1st glance but 80watt cards need it, that and even 300watts cards are sold. does your card have red fan. see what I mean buy 12 maker of cars all with AMD GPU. the cards all have tag called the SKU tag or full model told for GPU speed and vram sizes and more, lots more. https://search.brave.com/images?q=%20Radeon%20hd%207770%20card# I have boxes full of old GPU cards here, stored. some need 500watt more PSU to even begin any 3d mode. only the SKU matters, wiki SKU. and what PC this is and what PSU wattage and if said PSU has the 2 AUX CABLES WITH DUAL 6/8 Plugs, (PCI-12v) marked. if not we can do adapters easy. ask

so the PC mobo has and addin, PCI card sound"? 2004 PC mobo relic, now and 13yo to you. no card told. (fail)(buy only w7 allowed card if must) you did say CARD so means NOT ON-BOARD sound chip. relic P4 PC. mobo v1.0 mobo? this trash mobo uses EOL DOA, via chipsets, that do not allow w7 Integrated Realtek ALC662 audio CODEC chip this chip set is dead too, from maker realtek. if you knew that, and added a secret sound card. this mobo only does windows 200o to XP says so on page one at gigabytes this mobo. so w7 does not belong hear unless replacing every thing there that fails 1 by 1, , pain. ive done this vast times, for folks willing to. last xp driver is here for realtek https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/8VM533M-RZ-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver as a rule only this OEM maker PC can make there sound chips work (as a team of parts) not simple as many think, even has mixer chips and more, all custom to maker. yes cards work better, on this mobo the VIA chip and codec chip must work or sound will be dead. and is common this. lacking no vista driver up, ever/ this mobo has no SATA ports nor any PCI express card slots at all. and finding PCI (non express) cards that can run w7 can be hard. for sure now. yes possible, with careful searching specs of relic PCI cards. also the VIA chip dead makes The ethernet port dead too. and usb dead and IDE drives dead,vista up. never buy VIA chipped mobo. or pain is all there is. no drivers.
