I'm like you; a guy that gets called on from friends, family and neighbors to help them out with their computer stuff (and I do it, because I love them) but this time I'm the one that needs help.
I upgraded my cooler today (hyper 212 evo). Yesterday my system was running fine (albeit loudly).
After careful installation that went without any issue:
At the American Megatrends screen, it says: Please enter setup to recover bios settings. Press F1 or DEL.
I press F1 or DEL and it does nothing. Keyboard is recognized, everything is working from appearance, but not allowing input.
Mobo (Asus M5A97R2.0) and processor (FX-8350) are both less than a month old. New system was too loud on the stock fan.
I tried: Resetting the Bios through the jumper method, the battery method and also the thumb drive method and it doesn't appear to be working (or I don't know how to tell if it is with the current setup?).
I tried: A PS/2 adapter to my USB keyboard.
I tried: Connecting the old cooler back up.
I tried: Unplugging and reattaching everything to ensure that it is seated properly.
I tried: Booting with 1 stick.
I tried: The USB header ports on the front of the case.
I tried: Connecting the new cooler into a standard (non-cpu cooler) fan slot.
I tried: A "DirectKey" button on my mobo that should immediately take me to my bios settings.
(update) I tried: booting windows 7 from the DVD drive. I guess the boot order is not in my favor.
I tried: swearing at it and later offering it some of my alcohol.
Please. I've been at this for 7 hours. I will send someone a gift card of their choice (if it is allowed) if they can solve this one.
