I'm having the same problem.

I press the 'del' key to get into setup.

It gives the message: "starting setup", but doesn't. It's seems to start normally, then I get a message about scanning for IDE drives and then nothing. The monitor gets no signal and nothing happens.

I tried powering on and off and after about 20 tries I was able to get into the bios.

I've updated the most current bios version 1008.

Anyone have any ideas?

I would like to get into the bios to turn of the RAID stuff and to set the hard drive to 32 bit mode.

Thanks,

Laz

What will resetting CMOS do? Will that restore the original BIOS version?

If I don't try and enter setup (ie don't press anything), my computer starts normally.

I just can't get into the BIOS to make any changes.

Strange?

A friend with the identical computer is having the same problem.

Hmmm. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Laz
