well.. i got everything workin.. vista ultimate 32 installed..
but after i updated my bios and after my comp shuts down. it wont start up again. i mean the power comes back on but the screen is nothing!!!

i tried resetting the cmos but its still broken!!! HELP! and would returning and getting the exact same mobo fix the problem? :fou:
 
Classic BIOS update gone wrong. If it will not POST (try the usual stuff, take everything out but CPU, Video Card, 1 stick of memory) Clear the CMOS by removing the battery for 10 minutes or so.
If nothing works, you are now the proud owner of a dead motherboard.
Nothing you can do but return it if the BIOS chip is not removable.
If it is removable, you can contact ASUS for a new BIOS chip.
Good luck with the motherboard, and trying to get hold of anyone at ASUS as well if you are going to try for a new BIOS chip.
