Help, "Chassis intruded!" error message

MadMacs · 24 Mar 2007 at 17:29

Hey, just started up my pc for the first time, And on the screen there is an error message that reads

"Chassis intruded !
Fatal Error...system Halted.

It appears as soon as i start up and I can't enter the bios!. :mad:

I have a a8n32-sli-deluxe motherboard.

I have no idea what to do. I've checked all my connections and they seem fine. :confused:

Does anybody know what I can do?

thanks

Sounds like the sensor that checks if the case is open/closed need attention.

Reset CMOS.

Reset the CMOS. Should reset the warning and allow you to boot.

EDIT: Beaten to it again

thanks!

Firstly, remove the mobo's battery.

Then nearby you will see a set of three jumpers with a plastic connector on two of them.

Like this:

O-O O

Move the connector so it looks like this:

O O-O

Wait a minute or so, then change it back, put the battery back in, and reboot.

Details will also be in the mobo manual.

Dont need to do both, either will do the same job. Jumper does it quicker tho

It's either/or, really. As i didn't know the procedure for his mobo, both will not do any harm.
