i use win7 at this motherboard too, you can use win xp sound driver, it will work

There are free downloads of programs that will pair with your webcam. I would go to http://download.cnet.com/windows/ to get a safe download. But even Paint has an Acquire function where you can choose the camera as your device. Click File, "From scanner or camera". you open Control Panel, Devices and Printers, the USB printer should be listed. In some programs you need to define the acquire device as the camera, if it's currently got the scanner set.

You may go on line to Tweaking.com and download their Windows repair program (Free Version) as this program digs deep into all areas of the computer. The reason I suggest that is because some of the code used to locate hardware and various functions are fixed. If the motherboard is new, the BIOs are up-to-date or more recent and they should locate the devices at boot time. Other than that, replace the MB as long as its under warranty.

You can find them here : http://zebronics.info/downloads/ Zebronics have moved to new address https://zebronics.com but they have not provided the motherboard download links.

This sounds very much like a faulty motherboard if it continually reboots. Try accessing the BIOS using the F8 key, however check you manual to make sure your motherboard uses the F8 key. If you can access the BIOS, it would be worth doing a complete reset to factory defaults and see if this fixes the problem. If you cannot access the BIOS, then you will be looking at a new motherboard.

I did warranty work for several mfr's of PCs for 20 years, and believe me what you describe is not unique. I had a Gateway customer with a bad System board and ordered the part from Gateway - I got the correct board, but it was split down the middle when I got it and did not have a faraday bag in the box - just a two piece board in a box. That being said, it is likely there is a problem with the bridge chip/s on the board, and if you do some work with a multimeter you will find power in some places and none in others. I don't think this case is one that is repairable in an economic sense. I would get a replacement system board rather than spend too much effort trying to revive this thing.

you can check the MB pinout diagram from their website. The powersupply connector generally of a unique size and you can easily identity by the pin numbers and safely connect it, as you cannot insert it in a wrong direction.

firefox has nothing to do with the operating system if could be a problem of the support browser or the win xp which is no longer supported by Microsoft developing problems I use firefox exclusively yet when I click on firefox , I see that google comes up then the firefox browser opens so it that was a problem for me ,I would be suspecting a problem in the google application

Sorry, but at the moment you can't do that. This is because the BIOS is programmed to manage only 2GB memory. I searched for BIOS upgrade to resolve the memory issue but with no luck. At the moment your motherboard supports only 2 GB RAM.
