Hi, Please provide more information! There are 100 different reason why you might not have sound. Are there any flags in your "Device Manager" relating to sound? Did the sound work before? How are you connected to your TV from your computer?

Pretty sure you need a converter "box" to convert RCA to HDMI or vice versa. This site "This HDMI to 5 RCA Component Cable cannot work and there is no such cable..." says that there is no such thing as an HDMI to RCA Cable and I believe them.

motherboard error it may be change

Go into the Graphics/Display setup and make sure there is a display plugged in. There are various ways, each dependant on the OS and the display that is connected.

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

the leads from your "(MOTHERBOARD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE)" make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error even something as small as a faulty electrical extension or fan lead can cause this problem

computers need all of the data and electrical current to travel through every working device and to have an end to be able work properly

a motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive if its a flat ribbon 40 pin type IDE replace it this will be the first to fail check all electrical power input and extensions make sure they are securely seated even the cd/dvd floppy drives need to have current go through make sure these drives are working

to check the errorclick start control panel administrive tools computer management then select event viewer depending on what operating sytem you have this may vary

extend the events there you will ((see errors in red)) you will no what exactly what the error was and at what time it occured you might be able to work your way through to fix the problem

hope this helps you

The two closest to the cpu are DIMMs 1 and 2, The next pair are DIMMs 3 and 4 it is best to install in pairs, using slots 1 and 2 first.

Detailed info about this board including setup and comparisons to other boards can be found HERE

those wires are for the USB not audio,the meaning of the
writing no the wires are:
vcc=5 volts, -D=data negative, +D= data positive,GND=ground.
look in the manual for usb connection, if the mainboard has the header connection for them connect the wires to it if not just leave them out, secure them out of the way.

try to instal windows xp sp2 my is work.or download the lastest bios driver update on your motherboard company

You are trying to set BIOS outside parameters for it to work or needs latest BIOS upgrade

HI,

Let me first make sure I understand what configuration you have here. You've installed a new SATA drive and installed Vista on that SATA drive on this new motherboard. Then your trying to add an additional SATA drive to the motherboard that has data on it, but no OS. Is this correct? The problem your having is that when you put the drive with the new installation of vista on it, along with the old drive both being SATA, the old drive doesn't appear in vista but it does in Bios?:

Ok, if I'm correct in your config here, I would hook the new drive to SATA 1 and the older drive to SATA 2, and in bios boot to SATA 1. When you boot to vista, go my computer and right click to manage. Under manage go to disk management. It should see both drives and their you can format the second drive. If it doesn't see it, then try another SATA port.

Let me know, since I'm not confident on my assumptions.

Thanks
Mark

Hello,

As long as the Mother Board comes with a Drivers CD, you will not need to install any other updates.

Thank you,
Kenneth

Yes it will.
Here are the requirements needed to run it

PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard

450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode).

Your board has the Pci-ex16 slot and the Corsair has the power to run it.

the card should work with your motherboard, but you may have to upgrade your power supply

Your processor is overheating. You need to get a cooling fan, and or heat sink put on the processor.

I do not know what you are hooking up or how, as you did not specify.

The D port on the back of your board is for stereo line-in signal, while the F port is for microphone in signal only.

This motherboard supports 8-channel audio devices
that correspond to the A, B, C, and E ports.

Note: B, C, and E ports provide users with both right and left channels individually.

Refer to the following for specific port function:

A: Center and woofer
B: Back surround
C: Side surround
E: Front out

The above definitions can be changed by changing the driver utility settings.

It likely will still work, it just will not retain the time, or any bios settings if powered down. Not much of a problem if it's never turned off

Hi.

If you just assembled this system for the first time, you must boot the motherboard first with a minimal set of device, to test it , and then connect the rest.

I must warn you that if you played with PSU connectors or plugged/unplugged parts with power not disconnected you may have easily fried the main board.

Fans spinning, power to disk units, HD light and led on motherboard does not mean that the motherboard is good. This functions are often performed the same way when the motherboard is faulty.

Regarding the system, start the motherboard with a small set of devices.

Double check CPU. Remove heatsink and processor and put them back in place. Ensure CPU slot lever is closed if necessary.
Use just one memory stick. Ensure RAM is snapping correctly inside the slot.
Plug in the start button connector from chassis to motherboard.
Install display adapter if this is not integrated on board.
Connect a display to VGA port.
Finally connect PSU. both 4 pin and 21 pin connectors must be plugged.PSU power cord MUST be unplugged. Connecting PSU with power cord already plugged is a common mistake, and can damage the motherboard.

Do not connect disk units, PCI boards apart video if needed, optical units, connectors to other ports, card readers etc.

If the motherboard does not start, try again a couple of times.

If still no luck you may have damaged the motherboard.

Often you have to try the above a couple of times before it starts.

Regards.
