"New CPU Installed!
Press F1 to Run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue"
-------------------
If I press F2 I can enter Windows, and use it until I reboot, at which time the above message again shows up.
If I press F1 I can get into the BIOS, make changes, save it, then reboot, and then it goes back to the above message.
Here's the system:
Asus P4C800 Deluxe (Bios v 1010), P4/2.66 ghz, 512mb DDR, and anything else that you want to throw in - it doesn't make a difference.
I have shaved down the cpu/heatsink clamp (thanx to someone in this forum), and now have speech ("no cpu installed, no cpu installed"). I've pulled the mobo out of the case, powered it with a new Enermax 350w ps, keyboard, hard drive, and graphics card. It POSTs, then the New CPU/F1/F2 message.
I have not tried a new mobo, CPU, or PS, since these 3 items are new - I don't have the resources to buy things just to see if they'll work.
Thinking that maybe I jumped the gun with the BIOS upgrade I've looked around for an older version, but to no avail. Does anyone have an older, stable bios for the P4C800 Deluxe ? Any other ideas?
