you need to install drivers (from Intel, the Mobo manufacturer) so Win can see the various components of your Mobo; go to\nhttp://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D946GZIS/index.htm\nclick on Tools & SW\nunder Drv.s & BIOS updtes click on Drv. updates\n( http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/is/is_drive.htm )\nthere are only Win 2K & XP drv.ers, so you'll have to enable compatibility mode (Property of the downloaded file, Comp. panel, choose XP, obviously)\nif the driver expands in a directory like C:&#92;Intel&#92;... , change the compatibility for all EXEs there too, if the driver doesn't install right away.

I'm not surprised.\n\nYou have swapped a fully functioning computer, with speakers, for a motherboard.\n\nYou now need a computer body to put the motherboard into, then add speakers etc and hey presto --- SOUND

you may need a sound card. but i'm no computer expert. I just know when I had no sound that was my problem.

your sound cards drivers are old. speakers are old.. one of these two. update your sound drivers most likely.

sounds like you broke your mainboard.   not good, but a new mainboard isn't that expensive.

could be a bad video port on the motherboard.  Make sure your video card is seated properly in the slot on the mobo.  Pull it out and reseat it.

Installing chipset drivers should resolve the issue. Here is the URL to download the chipset drivers from the chipset manufacturer's site :\n\nhttp://www.viaarena.com/Driver/via_hyperionpro_v510a.zip\n\nElse, contact HP online technician here :\nhttp://ipgweb.cce.hp.com/ipgna/caller/chat.asp?dd=pavd&productName=HP+Pavilion+a720n+Desktop+PC&productCategory=12455&SCOID=82702&PSOID=46153&aoid=null&lang=en&cc=us

this happened to me, no beeps, no BIOS, monitor never displayed anything.  Try removing the RAM and wipe the contacts, maybe it is just dirty. If that did not work, the Main board or motherboard is due for replacement. \n\nI changed my main board and now the desktop works.

You need to install drivers for your sound card.\n\nIf you know what sound card you have you can go to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers from there. If you have on-board sound card refer to your motherboard manual/documentation.

It doesn't sound good.  Sounds like something got fried. Possibly either the CPU or Memory.\n\nIf you don't see any lights on the motherboard, then it's possible the motherboard has fried.\n\nIf you hear beeping but no video, then that's probably the memory.\n\nIf you see lights on the motherboard but nothing else happens, then it's probably the CPU.\n\nNo matter what, it's not good. If you don't feel confident in swapping parts like the memory or cpu, then take it somewhere.

Do you have a sound card installed or are you trying to use onboard sound (from your motherboard)? Is there a listing in Device Manager for Unknown Devices? If so, it may be your sound card, so right click it and update the drivers. \n\nDo you have the same problem when you restart your computer?\n\n\nOk, have you tried placing the sound card into a different PCI slot on the motherboard? If so, and you are not getting any sound and there is no soundcard listed in Device Manager, then you either have a bad sound card or you are having an IRQ conflict, or you (unlikely) have bad PCI slots on the motherboard. I would put my money on a bad sound card as IRQ conflicts are are usually corrected by Windows, but you never know...

its a hardware , so no upgrade for motherboards or cpu

If this is a problem that started out of the blue without you touching any of your settings, chances are there is a problem with either your motherboard, graphics card or processor. I had this same problem and it turned out that my motherboard had burnt out.\n\nI don't know how old your computer is but if it is more than 3 years old, chances are it is burnt out and you will need to replace your base unit.

try some search about your current processor type and it's compatibility with the socket on motherboard, so you'll find the type of the socket that you are using now.
