Stuck in the BIOS Solved

Question

Hello everyone, Here is my problem : When I start the PC, it gets stuck on the motherboard presentation screen with the following message at the bottom :  - Press DEL to enter Setup.  If I press DEL (the Delete key on the keyboard) when the keyboard lights up (the 3 LEDs on the keyboard turn on), it works for a fraction of a second.... "If I wait, it's too late, keyboard inactive"  A second message appears :  - Entering Setup.  And then nothing, impossible to do anything ... I press the ENTER key .... The keyboard seems to be disconnected ...  I tried removing the battery from the motherboard, changing the jumper to reset the CMOS .... unplugging and replugging all the peripherals from the motherboard ... (CD/DVD drive, HDD, fan)  Still no change.   If someone can help me solve the problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know what to do anymore. :'(  Thank you in advance.

Good. To enter setup: you press the numeric delete key. You find yourself on the system page. You press F10, you accept the change by hitting enter. You end up on the lines with "press F1", you press it, and normally it should proceed to your startup page. Hi, good luck.

Hello, DEL is to enter the BIOS. Try pressing F1, do you have a motherboard to test your CPU, or a CPU to test your motherboard? At least you'll know if it's a hardware problem...

Have you tampered with your recently installed PC or installed any software? Tinkered with the RAM?  By tapping F8 at startup or F11, F12, does it not offer anything?  -- Norton oO? But it's a virus!!! We count to 3 and uninstall!!! 3 x) Vista Rules!!! GoOgle a friend who means well :)

Hello,
try changing the connection mode of your keyboard, switch to USB or PS2... if you can get into the BIOS and load the default settings...

besides that, did you change something, a device or a software installed just before your PC crashed?

ldjaps · Answer

F1 does nothing. And for testing the CPU, I don't know anyone :X my other PC isn't compatible ;X

zøranel · Answer

or it could just be a device that has burned out! your motherboard? CPU? do you have another computer to test them separately?

ldjaps · Answer

USB keyboard & PS1 port already tested... still the same issue. It works for a fraction of a second.

As for messing with the PC, yes, I formatted it recently. I just unplugged the cables to remove some dust. But I know a bit about it and all the connections are correct. I reconnected them to check if that was the problem.

ldjaps · Answer

The 2 PCs will not be compatible. Too much of an age difference :(

ldjaps · Answer

F8 displays:   - Loading Boot Menu.....  And then nothing happens.

@nGel_974 · Answer

If you have touched internal components like the motherboard, RAM, or others without demagnetizing your hands, it's possible that you have burnt out one or more components :s

Otherwise, for this kind of problem where the PC gets old, you'll need to check with customer service (after-sales service); they have the equipment to test and repair your issue (if you're no longer under warranty, it may cost between €50-100 depending on the company)

My PC is not even a year old. I built it myself.

And I don't think I fried anything because after formatting it was working perfectly. A few days later, after several restarts, it showed me this all by itself.....

@nGel_974 · Answer

Ah so you know a bit about hardware, get yourself some equipment and do some tests (RAM, GPU, CPU, etc...)  For now, remove the RAM sticks, start the PC without any RAM, see if it beeps, turn it off, put one stick back in a slot you haven't used yet (or any slot, really). Do the same thing again by changing the RAM location, and testing with the other stick, etc...  Give us the results of the tests.  -- Norton oO? But that's a virus!!!

My configuration:

Motherboard - ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe
CPU - AthlonXP 32 3800+
RAM - 3GB DDR
Graphics Card - Gforce 7900GT 256MB
HDD - 80GB
2 DVD drives
4 fans + 1 integrated in the motherboard

That's it, I think.

ldjaps · Answer

Ok, I'm testing the RAM.

@nGel_974 · Answer

Besides, yeah you have a cool PC *_*

It's better we find the problem :) I understand that it can drive you crazy ^^

BINGOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

I'm removing the memory sticks.
I'm only plugging in one into the last unused slot.
It's showing the message and stops on the PC's characteristics with a black screen.

- CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded
*** Warning: Your computer CPU fan Fail or speed too low***
You can also disable this warning message in SETUP

My CPU fan works more or less (I think it’s running as usual oO ...)

What would you do? Should I go into the BIOS and disable the CPU FAN alarm?

@nGel_974 · Answer

Well, if you're capable, remove the fan and see if the PC boots

After trying it with the fan reconnected and doing what you suggested, but personally I don't think disabling the alarm will solve your problem.

First, see if the PC boots now (without the fan) and keep us updated :)

Edit: on rereading, I think you might take my first sentence the wrong way, but don't, okay? ^^' I mean if you know how to do it, go ahead, otherwise check with customer service ;)

Well then..... I must be unlucky.....  I had already started unplugging it, I removed a ton of dust.... I gently took a brush to it (just like always) and plugged everything back in....  And BAM!!! The PC won't even start. It turns on but I have no display: XXXXXXX  Oh dear.

@nGel_974 · Answer

><

Have you tested booting without the fan? Since you have 4 next to it, leaving the PC open shouldn’t cause overheating, right?

ldjaps · Answer

yes, it doesn't matter, it won't start! I have no display.

zøranel · Answer

lol! Well... check if everything is properly plugged in... graphics card, processor... otherwise it means your power supply might have fried... or your graphics card or your motherboard... we'll see, but I'm leaning more towards the power supply, do you have what you need to test it?

Anyway, it also depends on whether when you turn on your PC you see nothing lighting up? Nothing spinning, nothing at all? ^^

ldjaps · Answer

cici the PC is turning on .... it lights up but nothing shows on the screen .... Connection problem or motherboard / processor / graphics card ....... Damn it ... The connections are correct though

zøranel · Answer

Yeah well, a component burned out... Motherboard, graphics card... Do you have another graphics card? Or an integrated one?

ldjaps · Answer

Confli with the DD apparently ...... oO

@nGel_974 · Answer

If you have a VGA connector on your motherboard, try booting by connecting the display cable to it, but if you don't even enter the BIOS and don't hear any beeps, there's a good chance the motherboard has kicked the bucket :/

THANK YOU so much for your help in this long process.

unplug the HDD, start the PC without ....  reconnect to another SATA socket ....   enter the BIOS and reset it ...   That's all.

Here I had the same problem with a black screen and the Asus logo in the middle.  I have a box that I connect via USB and this box serves to read different SD cards from the Sangha brand. I unplugged them and pressed as it asked, and it worked.
