Boot problem with A8V
Hello,
I have an Athlon64 3500+ on an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard. Also in the setup is 2X512mg of ram, an ATI X800Pro graphics card, one sata 10k Raptor configured as the boot drive, two Sata 160gig Seagate drive striped as RAID 0, one LG 4120b DVD burner and one Samsung Combo drive. I recently put this system together and it seemed to run ok without much problem. However, I did think the CPU temps were a bit high - up 59c doing DivX encoding. When I tried to boot the sytem up this morning there was nothing reporting in the boot mode, nothing on the screen and no beep. The hard drive light remained on and that was it. I took of the back, all fans seemed be be working however, still no boot. I did upgrade to the latest bios a couple of days ago so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I thought that if it was hard drive problems at least I'd be getting an initial report in the bios screen. Any suggestions on what could be the problem? Thanks, Shane |

I had a similar problem to yours after upgrading my A8V with BIOS 1007, dame
thing wouldn't switch on. I removed the cmos battery, left it out for a couple of minutes, re-installed it and bingo, all working again except I needed to reset all my BIOS settings. Give that a try.

You're right about bios 1007. I removed the battery and was able to reboot.
Problem is that the bios will not save and the problem repeats itself and I have to again remove the battery to get something on the screen. I don't have a boot floppy installed and I need at least some function in the bios to boot to the Asus installation CD to reinstall an earlier bios. I have to go out now so I will have to come back to this later. Using a different computer to type this of course. Shane "Ritchie Stephenson" wrote in message ...
