Asus m2n-e sli locks up at bios post splash screen

posted by xOm3gAx on Apr 27, 2008

PC powers up and locks at the asus splash screen. Simple as that really.
I've tried swapping vid cards etc to no avail disconnecting all HD's and cd/dvd drives. pretty much everything i can think of. short of replacing the mobo which is only 1 month old. nothing has overheated as i keep a close eye on that stuff.

note: keyboard is unresponsive at bios post screen so i cannot enter setup. tried swapping out keyboards as well to no avail. it doesnt move past the screen that says press del to enter setup or tab to show bios post. just sits there as long as i leave it on.

thanks alot man talked to asus didnt mention flashing the bios but tbh this board has been a pain since i bought it and had issues prior to the bios flash which is why i flashed it to begin with. if it turns out to be something other then the bios ill be sure to make a post about it here.

Note: i tried resetting the bios to with no change though it was worth a shot.

Sounds like a bios issue. Try resetting the bios, pg. 2-19 in user manual. After clearing the bios jumper, make sure you set it back to pins 1 & 2. If you still can not get into the bios main menu than head to Asus, click this link.

Since this is a new board & all Asus boards are warranted for three years I suggest you talk with an Asus tech. If you flash you're bios during the warranty period you may void the warranty. You can call Asus M-F, EST 8:00AM-5: PM.
1-812-282-2787. Not sure you have this number in you're manual. Chances are Asus will send you a new bios. Or you can buy a new bios for $5.00 not including S/H. From Asus online store. Click on this link. http://estore.asus.com/shop/

If I can be of more service, just post back & let me know how thing go.
