Hi all,
I have emailed Asus directly but hoping someone maybe able to assist in the meantime.
I have a self build machine with the X79 sabertooth. I won't give full spec as the system has been running fine for months.
About 2 months ago I upgraded to Win 8 which went fine and I had been using it without problem for 2 months or so.
I turned the pc on this morning to see the following message after post screen;
"the current bios setting do not fully support the boot device"
Having never seen this before I reset to optimal defaults and ensured ACHI was selected. This didn't resolve the issue. I disconnected all the HDDs including the SSD that the OS was running on. Again after restart I got the same message. Whenever I went into the UEFI, there were no HDDs listed in the boot area.
So after a couple of hours googling and looking through the forums here, I decided to update my BIOS to the latest version.
This went perfectly fine and if memory serves it updated to 4005. Once again I restarted and again got the same message as before.
I then once again reset to defaults and checked settings in relation to ACHI and EUFI boot priority. After restart this time, I now get nothing at all. My monitor won't even show that a device is connected. I took the side panel off the case and noted that the VGA_LED is now illuminated of starting the machine. (Tested GFX card in secondary machine and no fault with it).
Having slightly lost my temper I decided to use the USB flashback which seems to not even activate. Whilst holding the button in for 3 seconds, the icon blinks and the light on my USB stick illuminates for 2-3 seconds then nothing. USB stick light goes out and the USB flashback light stays solid with no other blinking.
I am at a total loss as to why this has happened. All the drives are working fine as tested in secondary machine as is the GFX card.
As mentioned the system has been running flawlessly for months. On my last login 2 days ago there has been no updates installed or movement of the machine so I am totally lost as to what the issue could be.
As mentioned I have emailed Asus but being the weekend I don't foresee a response until mid next week.
Any help advice would be greatly appreciated as I am almost resigning myself to the fact the Mobo has died.
Cheers
