A few days ago I updated system from 98se to WinXP pro:
ASUS PV133 pent 111 added 128 mg ram to total 256.
Reinstalled a few programs winzip, update graphic and
sound driver, office xp pro etc.
Now system will turn on, the fan is running but the bios
screen doesn't even come up, the screen is black. I
replaced video card, changed mb battery, unhooked all
components. changed ribbons. I'm hoping it's not the
motherboard or the processor. How can I tell? Maybe there
is something else I could try!!
Also now my other PC with winxp pro has black screen
after I put the video card and memory back in!

Thanks In Advance.....

Hi,

You said you have changed the mobo battery, how long is
the mobo without the battery?
The CMOS might be cleared without the battery.
I would suggest you to go to ASUS website, download the
bios UTILITY TOOLS and save it to a floppy. You should
also download the latest BIOS for your mobo and save to
the floppy disk that you have saved with the BIOS utility
tools and give it a specific file name. Write down the
file name on a piece of paper as you would need it when
running the BIOS utility tools.
Care: pls read the instruction carefully for how to
update BIOS from asus website.
However, if the flash rom is dead, you cannot update the
bios and the only way you can do is to take it for repair
or simply change the mobo

Hope it helps.

Peter
