Boot problem - Scanning for BIOS image

[mclemens]

I unplugged everything from my PC, moved it about 10 feet, plugged everything back in and when I tried to boot the PC I get the following messages:

Award Boot Block BIOS V1.0

Scanning BIOS Image in Hard Drive

After the message appear the system powers off and then back on and the same messages are displayed. The system does this over and over again.

I know the system drive works because I plugged into another computer and was able to access it.

Any ideas on what I should do next. The mother board is a GA-X38-DQ6.

Thanks for your help.

Try using 1 DIMM of RAM only. Test your RAM with memtest and check for a bad DIMM.

Never mind I was able to clear CMOS and got things working again.

Try resetting the CMOS jumper, instructions in MB manual. Nevermind.
