need to install motherboard driver specially the sound driver.

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your "((MOTHERBOARD TO THE HARD DRIVE))" make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope this helps

let it go thru the post routine -- then force power down -- press power button the it should post and run

You can download the drivers from ASUS WEB site. Selectyour model motherboard/computer/laptop, and make sure you select the Windows XPor Vista version of the drivers that matches your Windows operating system.Please click on this link to their WEB support site : - http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Have you made sure that you have correctly installed the 5670's VGA drivers (The ones on the CD that came with the card). In my opinion the XFX 8800GT is way better than the 5670 though, if this solves your ploblem and you don't want the 8800GT anymore send me a line at [email protected].

you will find the drivers on this link

good day

Can you please indicate how you turn the motherboard on if the on/ off switch is not operating?

I take it that because of the keyboard problem at boot up you are unable to get into BIOS> If this is the case then it might be very difficult to diagnose what is going on. YOu need to be in BIOS setup to check the state of the hardware.

What setup have you used to program automatic sheduling of TV program recording. Is the computer active all the time?

Not sure why you think ACPI or cmos battery might be causing the problem.

Please post a few answers that might help me understand the problem a bit better.

Did you undertake a "repair" of the XP installation..? You should repair the existing installation using your original install disk But don't use the Repair console option, Go past this option until the install program tells you that it has detected an existing installation and would you like to either repair this installation or re-install from scratch.. Choose the repair option. Once this has completed, you should then install the mainboard drivers and then, go to Windows update and install ALL the required updates. This method ensures that the old mainboard drivers are removed and the new ones, including updates are installed. If this fails for whatever reason, you may have no choice but to undertake a full re-installation of XP including a format of the drive (sorry).. Then, once you have done this, you will need to re-install MS Office again as the repair of XP will overwrite some of the data and DLL files belonging to MS Office..

Have you downloaded/installed the specific drivers for the microphones and the motherboard? Although you have turned on the options within XP, there are often proprietary drivers that have to be installed and configured for the system to recognize the microphone.

Check the ASUS cdrom that came with your board and see if there aren't drivers for the board you will need to install.

I just completed some research and found that this issue did appear in some boards. AMD in particular. If you updated your bios version recently, this may be the cause. If you roll back the bios update to the previous version this should resolve the issue. Otherwise, please provide your make and model of the board you are using and I will do my best to research this for you and find an answer to your problem.

The NIC (LAN) driver IS on the ASUS support page. IT is just not labeled as the NIC LAN driver.

It is labeled as the "NVIDIA nForce 430/410 Chipset SATA/RAID Driver Disk" under the "Utilities" folder.

I just installed this myself and it works great now.

Enjoy... And pay the favor forward some day.

Cheers.

It sounds like your motherboard has also fried. Whatever caused your power supply to burn up caused excessive voltage to go to your motherboard, and it will need to be replaced. There is a possibility that other things connected to your motherboard also fried such as the memory or cpu but you won't be able to determine that unless you replace the motherboard. In my professional opinion, it would be more cost effective to get a new computer at this point. Thanks and please take a moment to rate this solution as fixya, since it answered your question; even if the news isn't very good. Thanks!

CHECK ALL JUMPER ON THE BOARD AND MAKE SURE THE BOIS RESET JUMPER IS ON JUMPER 1-2, SOUND LIKE A POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM NOT ENOUGH WATT TO RUN THE SYSTEM

2ND OPTION, REMOVE ALL WIRE AND ADDTIONAL CARDS, MIN. MEMORY, LEAVING 1 STICK OF RAM, VEDOI CONNECTION , AND THE POWER TO THE BOARD, CONNECT ONE WIRE AT A TIME AND RESTARTING THE MACHINE EVERY TIME UNTIL YOU FIND THE PROBLEM.

Hello,

Justo go to this link:

Drivers for ASUS A8N-VM CSM

And select the correct Operating system.

Then download the drivers you need.

Good luck

There is a stainless steel spring which goes through the heatsink and clips down on lugs either side of the cpu socket. Look carefully and you will see where you can put a flat screwdriver on one side of it.
Just push it down and away from the socket.
To put it back on just reverse the procedure.
Don`t forget where your fan is plugged into on the motherboard or power supply unit
