My sister has an old setup from about 2006 or 2007, it's had parts in and out of it since it's been in my possession. There seems to be a problem with the motherboard. The whole computer works just as you'd expect under Windows XP (that's what originally came on it), but the sound ports in the back on the motherboard and the PS/2 ports don't work. I have no idea why, since they've never worked since I've had it. Here's some specs:
CPU: Intel Celeron Prescott 351 3.2Ghz LGA775
MoBo: MSI PM8M3-V MicroATX LGA775 not sure what chipset
GPU: nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128mb AGP Pro
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 7200rpm 120gb IDE 3.5
The guy she got this from (an ex-bf) was a moron, and didn't install drivers except for the GPU. He also didn't bother including any manuals, accessories, disks, nothing. So, I am not sure if this is a driver issue or a hardware issue. I can't find the drivers for this board online.
Also, I can't seem to boot up a Vista 32-Bit Home Premium install disk on it. The BIOS recognizes it and attempts to boot from it, but it fails and goes to the OS boot. Any suggestions? I'd like to keep this thing going, maybe a cheap replacement board? Thanks.
