try to clear your bios
hello there, see if this works.. open up your case and locate the small battery on your motherboard.. Remove it and leave it out for 25 - 30 minutes then put it back in.. Hopefully this will clear out ur bios making it revert to original settings.

There should also be a hard reset jumper setting, see your manual. It's actually probably pretty obvious, I always see it looking at my own Asus boards just looking around. Jumper it to force a hard reset. But if you sizzled something doing the flash, which can happen, then yeah you're cheaper going with a new one than trying to fix what you got.

I am sorry what do you mean by hard reset ?????

 This is the link for the Motherboard I have http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/asus-p4pe/ I found only 1 jumper location but that is for the CMOS jumper to put it back to default .Tried to pull the battery out for 40 minutes ...nada . Tried removing everything from the Motherboard HDD, DVD, CD,all the PCI cards leaving only the Graphic card and what is needed to start the machine ..nada Meanwhile was searching for new bios chips online and there is a site (www.badflash.com) that does repair or make new bios chips for 24.99$ not sure what to do and does it worth fixing it that way .............................................on the other hand can't afford a whole new motherboard still need help

Hi Peter Barabas,
hv sorted out ur system problem by now...? If not.., Ive a small suggetion till u swap the mobo... U've not mentioned that the CPU has been removed in one of ur tests...anyway, try reseating the CPU (don't forget to put the heat sink & fan back with good thermal paste) and restart the system with booting thru the floppy drive (for upgrading the BIOS again)..obviously, if it POSTs/boots again. Then the bios will be updated with the good one. Remove the floppy & restart the system, I think this may sort out the problem. Pls let us know if u try this... Thx. BellyBotton

Reseating the CPU
Quote:
Thanks for the tip and your time ... Right now I am without a motherboard because I sent it back to ASUS for a check . But if they don't fix it I will try re seating the CPU and see what happens .....but when I had the mobo at home The only thing it would do is start booting up hard drives ,floppy drive ,DVD ,CD everything would spin up but not even flick at the screen .So right now I'm using my old good Toshiba laptop which is very handy in situations like this one ( for another 3 weeks I guess ) So till then ...THANKS a lot for your help guys once more
