So I recently upgraded my computer with:
Asus m5a97 r2.0
AMD 8350 black
Kingston Hyperx blue (2x4gb)
Everything else is the same as my previous working computer.
When I boot it up, it Posts with 1 quick beep then displays the Asus splash screen that says press del or F2 to enter bios. Pressing/holding either of those gets me nowhere.
The next screen up has an "American Megatrends" logo on top, and it displays text with my motherboard, cpu, memory, USB and ATA/ATAPI devices.
Oddly it says I have 2 keyboards connected.
Anyhow, at the bottom it says "Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting. Press F1 to run setup"
And of course F1 does nothing here.
I can press Ctrl+alt+del and it reboots the computer, So it doesn't seem like my keyboard is the issue (I ordered a PS/2 adapter to try to rule that out anyhow, couldn't find anyone with a ps/2 keyboard here)
I've tried the keyboard in all the USB slots.
I tried removing the CMOS battery and unplugging it and letting it sit after hitting the power button.
I've tried the directkey button on the motherboard that should take me into bios, but it just functions like the power button basically, and takes me to the same screens.
I've tried updating the BIOS via USB with the button on the motherboard (correct port, correct file name) and the LED will just blink for 5 seconds then go solid (indicating failure acccording to manual)
I'm about out of ideas.
Just tried resetting the CMOS with the jumper, both with CMOS battery in and out as per Asus website, no luck.
BIOS version is 2006
