It is telling you the bios file is bad and must be replaced. If your board
has crash free bios you can load it from floppy or the CD that came with the
board

Looks like you also have a broken "Caps Lock" key and your keyboard is dropping letters.
You should fix that first !

You don't say exactly what model of processor you are using.
Try going to the cpusupport web page, enter your model number
"K8S-MX", and see what BIOS revision is needed to support your
processor.

http://support.asus.com.tw/cpusupp [...] uage=en-us

What that tells you, is if you bought a Athlon64, it will be
trouble-free. If you bought a Sempron, you will need to check
two things on the motherboard. The "PCB Rev" is printed next
to the model name "K8S-MX", next to the video slot. If you
look at the socketed flash chip, there will be a paper label
stuck to the top, and the factory release number of the BIOS will
be printed on there. The numbers in the list above are the
minimum PCB Revision and BIOS release number for that processor.
For example, if you had a Sempron 3000+, the PCB revision must
be 1.02 or later, and the BIOS release must be 1008A or later.

If you cannot meet the minimum requirements, you will either need
to borrow an Athlon64 processor, for long enough to flash upgrade
the BIOS. Perhaps the shop you bought the motherboard from, can
help with that. The other option, is to buy a BIOS flash chip from
badflash.com, with the latest BIOS installed in the chip.

Since the CrashFree code seems to be running on your board, you
could also try the following:

1) Using another computer, download the latest release BIOS:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb [...] smx010.zip
2) Unzip the file.
3) Rename the file k8smx010.ami to K8S-MX.ROM
4) Format a floppy diskette and place the K8S-MX.ROM file on it.
5) Start the new computer. When "starting BIOS recovery" appears,
insert the floppy diskette into the floppy drive.
6) Wait until the flash upgrade is complete (3 minutes ?).

If you don't have a floppy drive, then burn a CDROM containing
the K8S-MX.ROM file at the root level, and insert that in the
new computer.

HTH,
Paul

You also apparently have a problem with your keyboard. Your CAPS LOCK key
is stuck.

Posting in all caps is the online equivalent of SHOUTING and is considered
very rude.


It sounds as if you have made changed to BIOS settings (perhaps in an
attempt to over).

You need to return your board to BIOS default and then you should be able to
boot.

For future reference, if you have to change your board more than once for a
problem, and changing the board does not fix the problem, then changing the
board 5 times is completely unnecessary.

You should be flashing your BIOS from a bootable floppy, not a bootable CD.
That is why the utility is not working. You must flash from a bootable
floppy disk. The flash utility has to be able to write data back to the
floppy before the flash can begin...it can't do that with a CD (even if it
is a CD-R/RW).

Athlon 64 3000+ (Socket754)   ALL ALL

OK. So we know that any BIOS release should work with your
processor. So this problem is not caused by the use of
a Sempron.

I guess the first question I will ask you, is have you attempted
to flash the BIOS already ? Are the symptoms you are seeing
("starting BIOS recovery" ) the result of having tried to flash
the BIOS and the operation failed ? Or is this motherboard
essentially in the same condition it was in when you removed
it from the motherboard box ?

The first thing I would try is "clearing the CMOS". The purpose
of clearing the CMOS, is to return the CPU clock to its
normal value. Sometimes a "Starting BIOS recovery" comes
from accidently overclocking a processor. Section 1.9 of
your user manual "Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)" gives a procedure for
clearing the CMOS. The most important part of that procedure, is
to _unplug the computer_. That prevents damage to the
standby power source.

If you still cannot make any progress, try using only one
stick of DDR memory, and try the memory in slot 1 and finally
slot 2. Perhaps the BIOS has an issue with one of the DIMM
slots.

Make sure the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan header.

If the symptoms are still the same, try actually reflashing
the BIOS. This will likely not function correctly, as if
you see the "starting BIOS recovery", it likely means that
all communication with the flash chip is going to be flaky.
You can try following the procedure in section 2.1.5
"Recovering the BIOS with CrashFree BIOS 2". See the
subsection "To recover the BIOS from the support CD",
as there is a BIOS file on the motherboard CD, and when you
see "starting BIOS recovery", you place the motherboard CD
in the CDROM drive, in order that the CrashFree feature
can read the BIOS file and reflash the BIOS chip.

Hope that helps,
Paul

From Section 1.9 from the manual

"1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3.
Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move
the cap back to pins 1-2.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer

4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter
BIOS setup to re-enter data."
