Default A8N-E Boot Issues

Hi

I have an A8N-E that is starting to have problems at boot.

It gets as far as the message 'nForce 4' after loading the BIOS version info
then stops. This is just before it looks for IDE drives. Often it will boot
past this point, with no apparent problems.

It's got me puzzled - memory problem, IDE problem or perhaps a flaky BIOS?

Has anyone had similar problems that may shine a light on this?

Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

Default A8N-E Boot Issues

Do you have a Sata2 drive installed ? Also, there is some tech at Asus
about a bios upgrade because some PCI-E video cards hang the boot
proccess...

My boot problem, same board, was my Sata2 drive. A flash update from
Seagate solvedthe problem...

FYI
