My setup:
Asus A7N8X Rev. 2.0
I have worked on computers for years but never had this problem! (This is also my first asus board )

A few weeks ago, Win XP pro gave me an error at bootup. I tried fixing the software problems to no avail. I tried repairing with the CD and had the same error. I decided to disable some devices in the bios. Funny thing is: After I save (or even when I discard) changes in the bios and exit the whole system hangs. I cant CTRL-ALT-DELETE , I press the reset on the front nothing happens, I hold down on the power button, nothing happens. The only way I can get the system to POST is to remove power cord, replug and turn on. I have removed all devices except video card and that didnt help.
So - Ever since then I havent been able to save any bios changes.

I did manage to flash the bios from 1003 to version 1005. Still the same problem occurs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum kmccoig...........

What have you got in there for a power supply?

And is this a new case or one that you have used before?

Thank you im glad to be here.

The power supply is a few years old. Its an Enlight 235 Watt. I used it with my old system along with the case, which is about 3 or 4 years old.

Do you think this has something to do with it??

Without knowing exactly what your running there I would take a shot at this as being the problem.
