nope ..nothinSo what components are still not working ? ?
Sound ?
Network ?NOTHING!!!!

the sound is still not working , I have tried everything you said and its still not working

the ethernet port still isnt working though my other computer is also not connecting to the internet via the router so it may be a problem with the router

the graphics are fine

cpu is faster than what it was with the old board

ran is also working fine

usb devices work fine

the system FAN is still FAR too noisy for prolonged use!

I have one more thing to try but i dont know how to describe it... ill try it and get back to yas!

I'd suggest spending 30 Bucks on a sound card then...sounds like the chip has taken a chip so to speak...lol!

well thanks for all your help!

I sent it down to my local pc repairer and all of the problems are now fixed! Here's what was WRONG:

1) System Fan: well as it turns out the system fan wasn't making proper contact with the CPU so the fan was going like crazy to stop it from overheating but failing! The cpu's temp was hitting 90 degrees centigrade (194 degrees farenheight) !!!

2) Audio : The old version of windows XP , the one for my old packard bell board , had the wrong drivers installed , the pc was still looking for the old hardware! I could have tried to install xp myself but i was WORRIED that i might further kill my pc so i left it to the pros so to speak!

3) ethernet / internet problems : well there has been no problems discovered with my onboard chipset so i put this problem down to my router , i will have to look at this later!


now i need some help to take advantage of the surround sound capababilities... but ill leave that till next TIME!
