The 77 error is basically the same as the F4 - with one exception: Malware warning.

Use IDE1 for the PATA HDD.

BIOS >> Integrated peripherals >> SATA RAID / AHCI Mode >> Disabled (sets the onboard SATA controller to IDE mode).
Running the controller in IDE mode doesn't make the drives slower, or faster, but (should) make it more compatible.

The PSU is a problem - your GPU wants a LOT of power.
Look for a quality 600W supply.

I prefer SensorsView, but Speedfan is also good (and free).
You can use SensorsView for 3 weeks without paying to see if it's worth $25.
