| 621111 | 2007-12-14 08:18:00 | Hey i was just playing urban terror on my other computer, and all of a sudden the screen went bright white, and it turned off... my first reaction was to boot it back up do i did, and it came up with something like, bios problem, searching for floppy drive, not found (i do have one), searching for CD drive, not found... then shut off again... i cant start it back up again!! when i try it nothing comes up on the screen and nothing loads.. Is there anything i can do to save it from the computer shop? I have a ASUS P4P800S-X motherboard (i am thinking it is the motherboard) Thanks, i know i am always posting with my problems but man u guys are so helpful!! thsnks :badpc: |

| 621116 | 2007-12-14 09:01:00 | See if you can get it to stop at the point where the message is, hit the pause key on the keyboard just when (or just before) the message comes up on the screen | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 621117 | 2007-12-14 09:03:00 | well i would do that but nothing comes up on he screen, i fould the same pic in the motherboard book it says "Bad BIOS Checksum". | password (5384) | ||
| 621118 | 2007-12-14 09:15:00 | I have had a look round other forums and alot of people are having the same difficulties so i might just take it in to the shop and get them to have a look at the motherboard and i just might buy a new pc if they cant do anything... oh well there goes my X-MAS holiday money lol | password (5384) | ||
| 621119 | 2007-12-14 09:18:00 | Sounds like your BIOS has killed itself (or been killed) You could try resetting it with clear CMOS jumper or remove the battery for a minute or so, but otherwise you may be able to get it going again with "crashfree BIOS 2" recovery The manual will tell you how to do this, you may need to download a new BIOS file from asus website or you can probably use the driver CD that came with the board |
