Checksum error defaults loaded........

[larry89]

bump - ok i am going to try that right now

 

[Demo24]

yeah good news and bad news

good news is your board should be ok.

bad news is trying to get ya into BIOs so you can load optimised defaults

 

[Demo24]

oh and yeah for some reason the first screen to show on screen tells you your video card stuff

 

[larry89]

everytime i try to load optimised defaults - i restart and then it doesnt post and beeps.

corrupt cmos?

 

[larry89]

hrm... goddamn computers -.- alirght time to mess around with the mobo n bios this time..

 

[larry89]

any ideas demo?

 

[larry89]

bump!

 

[Demo24]

so you can get into Bios?

 

[larry89]

yes i can.

 

[larry89]

it checks the bios the next time and it says its ok and it goes to the part i believe where it checks the hard drives and stuff and then it freezes, I guess maybe when I add my harddrive i am able to installl windows xp and flash the bios to the newest and the chipset drivers.

Problem is, Installing Windows XP = going into bios to change stuff.

What would you have to change in the BIOS to install Windows XP? I never have to change BIOS settings to install XP.

Concrats on the new system DEMO24, I see you finally got your new parts. :thumbsup:

 

[larry89]

??? the bootup sequence of devices? o.o

 

[Demo24]

could try loading fail safe defaults

hey! yep finally got it up and running love it to

 

[larry89]

hrm..

everytime I change bios it gives me the beeps.

Then I have to clear it..

Could it be a bad cmos battery?

and everytime i get it to post IT ALWAYS has a checksum error and says it loads defaults and uses backup cmos..

WTF IS WRONG WITH MY MOBO :|:|:|:|:|

 

[larry89]

hrm.. maybe its my cpu? either that or the ram... possibly..

 

[larry89]

maybe i should wait until my hard drive and platinum el rev 2's come in

and try posting with that... install windows and upgrade the bios..

 

[Demo24]

yeah wait for the memory. could be your issue

 

[larry89]

could the cpu also be affecting it?

 

[larry89]

maybe I have bent pins or something?

 

[TheOasis]

maybe you should learn to edit your posts instead of posting one sentence at a time?

 

[Demo24]

I kind of doubt CPU.
