P5K BIOS Problem

LPL · 29 Jul 2008 at 21:04

Just tried to update my BIOS so I coul use my E8500.

Downloaded the newest one but when I tried it said it was wrong so I assume you have to do it incremental ?

I downloaded 4 of them, I was on 601 so I tried 603, verified it all, updated, said rebooting in 5seconds. Screen went off and didnt come back on for 30seconds so I turned the PC off and now it doesnt turn on.

Just sits with blank screen. Tried taking the CMOS battery out and booting, taking it out n putting back in and booting, still the same.

Any ideas or is the board dead? :/

Within BIOS, never use the windows one

Cant get a new BIOS chip some forums mention. Ive tried the jumper and taking CMOS battery out, still just turns on and fans spin 100% and the monitor doesnt turn on

Yeah it was correct one, said no, so I went back on the website and 110% downloaded the right one.

It checked it, updated it , said rebooting and wont come back on

Asus charge £16 RMA fee + postage and it takes 21 days :/

So is there anyway of getting the mobo to boot before I send it back?
It just powers on and lets fan spin but nothing on screen, would a bootable DVD work? Dont have the asus support disc to even try :/
