Hi Everybody,
I bought this Asus motherboard recently and tried installing the
WindowsXP Pro OS. When I switch on the PC, I do not see anything on
video monitor. I do not see any BIOS info or anything. The screen
remains blank. The HDD and CD drive blinks and goes off, nothing
happens after that. I have 1 Samsung 512MB DDR400 memory bank
installed. There is nothing wrong with the monitor since it works fine
with my current PC.
I put the WindowsXP CD in the DVD+/-RW drive to see if it will boot
but nothing happens. Same with the CD that came with the motherboard
though I don't think it was meant to be used this way. The motherboard
gets power since I see and hear the fans running, and LEDs/keyboard
lighting up.
Should I install a BIOS or something like that ? According to the user
guide that accompanied the motherboard, it looks like the BIOS is
already installed and configured. How do I get to the BIOS menu(tried
<ALT>+<F2>, doesn't work) ? Is something wrong with the VGA or
something like that ?
I tried everything I could think of but no luck. I would appreciate
your ideas and thoughts to bring this PC to life.
Thanks in advance to all
