what's written on the barcode label? what's written on the bios chip sticker? are there any stickers on the side of the pci slots?

btw. there are some damaged capacitory which should be replaced before you try anything else.

Don't waste your time on this board. Capacitors are the small things looking like beer (or cola) cans. These should be flat on their upper side but many of them on your board are bulged upwards meaning they are damaged and wil fail ver soon.
On your image five of them in the medium right are bulged and at least one in the center section. If that's another one between CPU and 4-pin auxillary power connector than it's looking even worse.

not to mention the three caps hiding behind the cpu cooler :)

sell the thing as whole with ram on a huge internet aution platform and get something new any shiny. ram prices are very low, if you don't mind about bleeding edge gaming you can get a cheap µatx mainboard with vga onboard and a nice dual or triple core cpu.
