Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L Motherboard - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

try to check the cmos jumper and transfer the jumper to 2-3

check power supply then all power plugs in the right place then check video card out

BE MOORE DETAILED.

You may have tor replace the motherboard - or take to an electronics shop to see if the transistor can be replaced - note: there may be other damage to the board itself, not just the one transistor.

Just check the manual, is all there.

If you can't connect them because they are different, just do a little mod to fit them properly on connector.

Hello here is the homepage:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3485#dlThe drivers can be downloaded by selecting your windows system.The manual can be downloaded, in download type.You will need adobe reader, to read the content.What`s the problem ??I agree with you joe, for posting a serial number :-) Good luck

Change your windows or your game problem.

First thing when diagnosing a desktop computer problem, is check the Power Supply.Really.A Power Supply with a weak voltage power rail, can also emulate software problems. (Emulate software problems; The bad hardware (Power Supply), can also make it seem like it is a software problem. It isn't. It's a hardware problem -> Power Supply )1) Is your computer dirty inside? This will make the computer not work, and also 'kills' Power Supply's.They overheat, and components inside the Power Supply fail.(Go bad)Know this;1) If ALL of the LED lights were on at once, they would use less than 1 Watt of power.2) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts of power.3) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 Watts of power. Just depends on what Processor it is.Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L?http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2693#ovLGA 775 processor socket, and an Intel G31 motherboard chipset,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intel_chipsets#Core_2_chipsetsScroll down to G31 in the left column.Also go back to the Gigabyte Support page.Click on the Support & Downloads tab.(Overview / Specification / Support & Downloads / FAQ / etc)Click on the blue - CPU Support List tab.(CPU Support List / Memory Support List / Accessory )Your motherboard can support Processors that use 35 Watts all the way up to 135 Watts.Point?If you have a Power Supply with a weak voltage power rail; you may see LED lights light, and fans spin; but there will NOT be enough power to turn the Processor ON.Do you have a multimeter to test the 3 main voltages?OR;Do you have a KNOWN to be good, Compatible power supply; to use for a temporary test unit?Also;When working on your computer FOLLOW Anti-Static Precautions.If you are not aware of what Anti-Static Precautions are, please post back in a Comment.DO NOT work on your computer until you do.Remove all Ram Memory modules. ('Stick')Clean the gold plated contact pins with a pencil eraser.If using an eraser on the end of a pencil; and not a solid eraser; refrain from letting the metal band of the pencil; touch the gold plated contact pins.Rub across all gold plated contact pins, and up, and down. BOTH sides.When finished use air to remove the eraser dust.You can use a can of compressed air for computers, or air pressure from your mouth will be sufficient.Handle the Ram Memory module by the BODY.The Body is everywhere on the Ram Memory module, EXCEPT the gold plated contact pins.The Body is coated with a see-through protective plastic,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Generic_DDR_Memory_%28Xytram%29.jpgReinstall the Ram Memory module/s.

Hello try to download a manual here:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2693#dlSelect manual in download type.You will need adobe reader to read the content.Here is a fault finder guide: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-13-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problemsThis is a different mainboard than yours but the fault is basicly the same. You can also install a graphic card in the pci-e slot to avoid useing the onboard graphic.Hope this will help.

to enter the CMOS by pressing one of the below five keys during the boot. Usually it's one of the first two.

• F1
• F2
• DEL
• ESC
• F10

Reinstal the OS

Use CPU-Z from CPUID.com, Luke.Will tell you what BIOS program, version, and date, you have now,http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.htmlClick on the Mainboard (Motherboard) tab for info on BIOS.Need guidance in downloading, and installing CPU-Z post back in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you could see a yellow question / exclamation mark? ! or a red X

you will need to update/reinstall drivers

right click to reinstall drivers

if you can see your usb drive but its not working

ports (com&lpt) right click update driver if this fails to fix the problem

check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red white green black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems to a computer and its parts hope it helps

try swapping the speakers around if the problem still persists either the speaker is faulty or the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer or to if a laptop on the side you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good or you might have to clean the dust from your computer dust causes static which causes your computer to overheat and all sorts of problems be sure to wear an anti static earth strap before touching anything inside your computer try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the CPU central processing unit and your SOUND CARD dust causes static to build up in a computer causing it to overheat any many other problems hope this helps

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turnedon. To see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menuof the BIOS Setup program.Once in the MIT menu CTRL+F1 should show you more advanced options also.

try to find a copy of the bios from the manufacture's website, and put it on a usb stick, then start the computer with the usb stick plugged in. if that doesn't work, you may have to replace the bios chip with a properly programmed one. if you can replace it, then you would have to replace your motherboard (unless I missing something here on how to recover the bios)
