Issue with faulty mainboard and 775 socket.
Inspect your SATA power and data cables, swap the SATA data cable, try a different SATA port. Proceed step by step and observe if it resolves the problem.
Verify your SATA power and data connections. Replace the SATA data cable, then change to a different SATA port. Perform these steps sequentially to determine if it resolves the problem. If unsuccessful, consider alternative solutions. Apply 99% isopropyl alcohol to all SATA ports on the motherboard, let them dry for 24 hours. Submerge the socket in the same alcohol, cover it with a protective cap (a tissue or CPU will suffice), and allow drying for another 24 hours. Repeat the process in order. If the issue persists, simply replace the motherboard.
