when i plug my info into asus power supply calculator it says i need a min 800 watt so could my 600 watt not be enough and causeing this?im going to get a power supply today to meet that spec but i wouldnt think i would me maxing out power just trying to set up bios
 
I too get the no drives detected message during start-up; then the start-up continues. So thats not the problem. If your power supply checks out to be fine, then its time for you to contact Asus tech support. Its not unusual to get a dead board. The CPU and the RAM should be ok.
