I have just assembled a new PC with GA-7VRXP mother board. I run the Windows smoothly but there is no sound although I installed the software and when I start the computer there is the following message at the very beginning (black screen): "BIOS is not installed because there are no drives attached"
In the system I have AMD XP 1700 ,IBM 80 Gigs HDD, Pioneer DVD- ROM, 512 DDR (2700 Samsung), Radeon 8500 LE (128 DDR, but its software is not installed yet) , Creative lab 56 PCI modem , and a floppy(sony). the audio software instalation seems to be O K but there is no sound ( Ido not Think that I have diabled the sound during instalation but I don not know how to double check it?) ,The Motherboard has " standard CMOS Setup". I would appreciate your inputs, should I exchange the MOBO or there is something that I can do about sound.
