I've had a P3 700 running 933 for about a year. No problem ever. Just decided that I would reinstall WinXP. In the middle of XP setup, the power blinked. When i restarted the machine, it went through the usual bootup process, but stopped just after HDD detection. It will not boot any farther than that. I have tried both the ATA66 and the regular controller. It will not even boot from a floppy only.


I'm stumped. What should I be looking for. I was going to clear CMOS, but there is only an option in there to load default setting. No jumper on the board to clear.

This is on an Asus CUBX, which is flashed to latest bios. It's been working fine, till just now.

GRRRRRRRRRR

Take the battery, wait a sec then put it back in. That should clear the cmos. After that I am not sure.
