boot up problems

[Quronos]

Hi all.
One of my Pc's died last night and now gets a message "CMOS/GPNV checksum bad
F1 to fun setup
F2 to load default value and continue."

Now, i know this is solved by a replacement bios battery, but thinking the f2 option would fix the sum problem i pushed it and i got a table with my pc spec in it, and nothing changed after that.

Anyway...me being me, I reset the bios after this for no particular reason and now it posts as normal BUT only gives me a blank screen afterward.

Ive personally never had this kind of problem occur before, so i'm gonna ask.
Does this all sound normal?

So you can POST but not reach the BIOS screen?
Or can you POST but then it just hangs?

Assuming it POSTs and hangs - your pressing of f2 has loaded the failsafe defaults. This might of switched off something vital - like SATA support. If you are booting from SATA it will just sit there.

Try going into BIOS and loading optimised defaults, or just manually re-enabling SATA from the current BIOS settings.

Oh and replace that damn battery!
