New A7N8X Deluxe hangs at post: "WARNING!! CPU HAVE BEEN CHANGED"
Replaced an A7m266 that was running fine for about 3 1/2 years. Have
the XP2100 CPU, 400 Watt power supply Antec, 512 ram pc2100.
pressing DEL will not even let me update/enter the bios setup.
Tried clearing CMOS, and now I get...
"CMOS checksum error- Defaultsloaded"
and then...
"The system was not correctly shut down and is
working in safe mode speed, please press DEL to BIOS setup table to
set correct CPU speed"
BUT I STILL can't access the damn BIOS. Tried holding DEL down as I
power up-nothing. Just locks up at the above mantioned error message.
ALT-F2 won't boot off a Win98 startup floppy even, so I can't even
flash the BIOS if I wanted to because I can't even get to an A:\
prompt.
