Try reflashing the BIOS again.

1 long, 2 short Failure in video system: a checksum error was encountered in video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered

You can buy this connector on line - try radioshack.com and they might even have it in store / for pick up. Is it damaged on the power supply side or the motherboard side? A new board or new power supply could also be a fix.. Hope this helps YA If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/william_02fc2766c1e13b73

go google and type in---gigabyte mother board ds3h-a--- there are pages of information on the board , it's specifications , the chip it runs and ram sockets win xp is an operating system and as long as the chip is fast enough is what matters talk with a computer repair shop for best advice

detach all what you can from the motherboard llet only video card , CPU and try to start is so and see the outcome.if is working put bak one at the time and wich is not starting that one is faulty.

COLORS ARE: brown brown brown gold

Still could be bad power supply even though the cooling fan is working. Recommend replacing the ps first since they are fairly cheap. If that does not work then the CPU is bad and needs to be replaced If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_a67ead41eb5fc62a

Gigabyte has the manual for the GA-73PVM-S2H on the product support site: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2691#manual . The full manual is near the bottom of the list. The direct link to the English version of the manual is http://download1.gigabyte.us/Files/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga-73pvm-s2h_e.pdf . The Motherboard Installation Guide at the top of the list is a generic manual for all motherboards. The front panel connections are shown on page 28 of the manual. There are two lines of pins. From left to right, the inside line of pins are the Power LED +, Power LED -, Power Switch +, Power Switch -, then the Case Speaker +, Case Speaker -. (The speaker - is next to a Case Fan connector; so there are a couple of blank spots between the speaker + and - pins.) On the line of pins at the edge of the board, again from left to right: HD LED +, HD LED -, Reset Switch -, Reset Switch + . There is no contact on the last pin in this group. I hope this helps.

Hello download the manual here:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1855&dl=1#manualThere is no reason to continue installing windows 7, because here is no drivers for that windows system. Install windows xp again, or buy a new mainboard.Good luck

What do you want to know about the capacitors? They are surface mounted and require practice and skill to replace.

If no lights come on when you plug the laptop into the wall, check the DC supply voltage from the power supply located on the cord you plug into the side of the laptop.

Have you checked the BIOS? The BIOS on this board has a section called Smart Fan. It's in a part of the BIOS called PC Health Status. The fan's response to increased processor temperature is controlled by something called Easy Tune. If the processor is overheating and you can't hear the fan running flat-out to cool it, the RPM needs to be increased. Another thing to check is the heat sink to processor contact. In order to get good heat transfer from the processor to the heat sink the whole top of the processor needs to be coated with a thin film of heat sink compound and the sink needs to be correctly aligned and making good contact with the processor. If all of this proves fruitless, you can set the BIOS to optimized defaults by pressing F7 while in the BIOS. Ultimately, as a last resort you can try F6. Of course, as you're most likely aware, you have to save and restart after each change.

This particular main board doesn't have the video integrated into the mobo, so it's got a video card. Often the video card has a fan. The fan could be causing the noise. Have you tried briefly unplugging the processor fan to see if the noise stops?

It might just be worth double checking that its not in fact your monitor at fault. you said the the monitor isn't always displaying the picture, but you can hear that the computer is on? You also say you are turning your computer off and on to cure the problem, which of course also power cycles your monitor. When it happens again, power cycle your monitor by turning it off and on to see if the image reappears?

When you say starts/stops (etc) are you saying it just keeps trying to reboot? Or are you getting a message such as boot disk not found press any key to restart? Replacing the 3V battery will cause the CMOS to reset to factory defaults. You may need to go into the CMOS and make setting changes to point to the proper disk drive for booting. You may even have to change the type of disc drive since there is now the old MBR as well as the newer GPT format. Also, there is the possibility that if you are upgrading you may need to use the legacy CMOS instead of the UEFI that many newer mainboards come defaulted to. Any error in the CMOS settings can cause a boot failure.
