I have an ASUS K8V deluxe/Athlon 64 3200 based system which crashed recently and now won't POST. The MoBo gives me an audio message "system failed CPU test" on reboot. I

cannot get into the BIOS at all, EVEN after resetting the CMOS jumper and/or removing the battery. I could always buy a new chip and see if that solves the problem, but I'd like to be able to get into the BIOS and do some troubleshooting before dropping the coin. Any suggestions as to how I should start diagnosing this problem?

As a start...how do I reset the BIOS?

Thanks, all.

Pull out the CMOS battery for five seconds and then put it back in. Try again.

Also, when you do this, make sure the power supply is unplugged COMPLETELY, even if its plugged into a powerstrip that is off, unplug the cord from the PSU. Once thats done, push the power button in for approximately 5 seconds, as it will "kill" all remaining power in the PSU. Finally, reset the CMOS jumper. Restore everything back to its normal configuration, and you should be good to go.
