I have just built a new PC, based on an ASUS P5B Deluxe mobo
Everything was going well, I had the system running XP perfectly. I was advised on another forum to flash the BIOS since the latest BIOS offers some good overclocking features (I thought I might want to later)
I downloaded the latest 8.04 BIOS ROM from the ASUS site as directed and used the new ASUSUpdate tool. It seemed to work and verified the flash as successful.
It then asked me to reboot.
Upon POSTing, a warning came up telling me that the "Overclocking was not successful" or something similar. It gave an option to revert to previous settings, which I did.
Now the PC wont boot past the blue ASUS splash screen, pressing TAB or DEL does nothing.
I followed the manual to the letter in resetting the CMOS (Clear RTCRAM), by disconnecting power, removing battery and moving the jumper etc.
It still wont boot past the ASUS splash screen.
I feel a bt sick, have just spent £800 on this new family PC....
Can anyone help???
Cheers
Jim
