Asus A7V problem

[queyan]

My system hangs during booting. Specifically, it hangs right after it says "Award Plug and Play Bios Extension V1.0A". I tried switching out video cards, switching the ram, and switching harddrives. I can't seem to get past that line for some reason. I currently have the 1005c bios. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Problem solved. The memory setting was setting was set too high in the bios and so I had to clear the CMOS in order to get into the bios to change to a more stable setting.

Thanks

What kind of RAM are you using? I am glad that a CMOS reset solved your problem. I am running Muskin REV 2 with mine.

I was using the 128 pc100 Hyundai ram...tried to set it to 133 and it didn't like it at all...couldn't even get into the bios, until i cleared the CMOS on the mobo. I was a bit worrried for about 30 min or so.

PC100 to Pc133, you're pushing it too hard man.
