best is noobs avoiding UEFI and 945 is 2005 tech, not modern UEFI bios .at all but do ask maker this. but 945 ended there.

the manual is here the pinout is told and there are 10,000 DIY case made and they are wired unique for front panel audio jacks we must wire them custom to do that. end to end. (find a tech as them to do that job) have manuals for both in hand, bios star and the new diy case manual. or the job is 10x harder. done many but , gee 10,000 cases no the same. there is no ATX front panel spec. sorry, same with usb front. same with power button. the mobo is DIY, means , knowing how to do DIY only works.

no question asked.

NO OS told at all is this old XP? PC told (diy) Biostar P4TPT mobo, version 7.5card? or ? that blaster is PCI not PCI-express so is stuck in XP land. forever. the sound page in CP shows a tab called microphone or inputs this must be set, and tested first.. ahh, real intel chip set 845gv (no stinking nForce here) 2001 chip set (21 years old today) GV is 2002 version. step one is in bios page called sound disable onboard sound first or pain will be hard. ouch no SATA ports there, wow bad that. the makers web site, show XP is max, XP is the end of the road. so the blaster needs the CD that came with it , loaded first but for installing blaster (PCI card) lost the CD well it is here still bingo for XP , 21 years later, https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/eol/introduction.php?S_ID=226#download

so this is CD DISK , BEING COPIED, A CD FROM BIOSTAR.? READ ERRORS ARE 2 FOLD. CD IS SCRATCHED OR CRACKED OR AND TARGET DRIVE BAD, not told by you ether. NO OS TOLD at all nor what fails and needs drivers also old drivers do not work on new OS. sorry they will not.

MCP6P-M2 Ver. 6.x?????

the file are here. https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/eol/introduction.php?S_ID=315#download why post ever lacking what OS this is , now or the goal/ we can not guess what that is ever and drivers must match PC make, and model, and OS, or they wil fail this mobo is old Nforce chip set and is not supported on any modern OS. nForce430 <<< is NO GOOD now , has zero future period 430 last driver ever 2007 jan, no vista support just XP 2005 chip and last support was 2007, and died, forever at AMD. no OS told, at all but XP is it. and you disk is bad or PC is bad hdd is bad. back then long long ago XP virus magnet we test the hDD first, if bad , trash it goes. then we boot XP installer and F6 it to get the 430 drivers if the installer can not see those old IDE drives, and 430- chip does that. XP sp3 is best, not sp1. or less. sp3. has more chipset drivers in the installer actual. see? why be the last man running XP if are. and those drivers do not run on vista up.

posted to computer repair help, PCwhat computer is this, not toldVestel 14MB02-03 (mobo labels useless)Vestel made this mobo under contract to an OEM PC maker,. like BIOSTAR? or who? not told really.Vestel does not sell PCs ! google shows no hits (zero). posted wrong PC model?ahhhhh coded words off mobo white painted silk screenssureI see one hit on that number alone and shows LAPTOP PC MOBOclearlyok , why post mobo models. and not real maker of PC laptop model, did you somehow lose the laptop casings.??>???????????odd odd post this is, like that. we fix PC by makers name and real models. not mobo codes. sorrythe model is on the bottom tab on laptops oldor in bios screen 1 toldnow and answer for laptops old. 1: big battery dead and worse shorted making PC dead, remove it run on AC power pack only,see it works.2: coin cell dead, sure it is that old replace it.3: any of up to 20 other modules inside shorted out.4: stuck in sleep mode dead, push power button for 10 seconds and release, runs now?5: LCD CCFL back lamps dead, use a flash light pointed to screen to see data turned on, if seen the CCFL is dead.(aka, background light tubes)

Try refreshing all connections to the motherboard. Also clean the RAM as shown in the image below.
Resetting the CMOS may also help you in the process. Make sure that the power cable connected to the power supply is disconnected. Change the jumper settings of JCMOS1 (labled 1) from 1-2 to 2-3 for approximately 10secs. (refer to the image below).

Then return to original settings (1-2). Hope this helps.

this mobo is junk grade VIA chipset, VIA ended all support long long ago, XP era. 2003 mobo, relic.no PCI express slots, no SATA drives, what's to like?they all ran before. coin cell dead, no way can you ignore it dead.dead causes bios to go nuts, chaos, even lies to you even screens dead. learn it and know it.the PSU can be bench tested ask how, 1 jumper.the PC can be be bador up to 20 things in a PC shorts and PSU overloads.the coin cell is dead, if that old it is dead.and is $1 cost at walmart, get one and stuff it in and reset bios.the coin cell now 10 years old. so is dead.we replace that even at 5 years old SO IT HAS a future with no painthen setbios, time date and boot order, save,exit cold boot.

NO OS told at all not one clue XP or Linux>? what?a nvidia cards. from 2003 year, 10 years later. wow. and go to nvidia.com and get it.oops gone.the chip is 2003 made, a true relic, GPU.that means no new OS supported by Biostar or nvidia actual. See why? answer nvidia ended it.atGeForce2 through GeForce FX GPUsWindows XP/2000/Me/98SE - WDM DriverVersion: 2.26Release Date: May 2, 2005 (the last one)Ever.the end is here,https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/winxp-2k-archive/see FX see link dead there for all FX , it's dead.
