Bios is corrupted. Very common on that board.

That old of a board could have bad caps too...

 

[Mr.Scott]

Yessir. Notorious for that too.

So is there any chance for repairing a corrupted bios?

Hot flash the bios chip on another board or order a new bios chip. They're like $25 all programmed and ready to go.

IMO, the board isn't worth $25. The choice is ultimately yours.

Look at the capacitors on that MB. They should all be flat. If they are domed up they are bad. If they are leaking any brown goop from the top or bottom, they are bad. It is easy to replace them. You do have the find the correct replacements though. I used to get mine from eBay for a few $$$ USD in packs of 5. When you take off the old ones, note the polarity because it does matter.
