Hello guys,...
I think...
That maybe...
Inexplicably to me...
I killed my computer...
So, yesterday, I played with the ASUS' overclocking software...
Did this... did that... crashed it once or twice...
Anyways, after the last crash, the software reverted back to default settings...
Fine.
So I left her downloading stuff for the night.
When morning comes, she doesn't respond... monitor was off... hard disk LED on the case was solid-lit.
The optical mouse's led light was off... hmmm....
So I "rebooted" ... nothing... tried all kinds of good-procedure rebooting.... all to no avail.
So I shut her off.
Waited one minute... started her back up.
Well... She doesn't want to come up.
She's inside a "loop" between powerON and the BIOS.
If I start it up, sometimes it displays the "Hit Del for Setup" screen.... sometime it just re-reboots.
Peanuts.
On various of those screens, I've gotten
"""""
CMOS Checksum Bad
Press F1 to Run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue
"""""""""""""""""""""
I've tried both ways (F1, and F2) ... with the same re-reboot result.
I've unplugged the hdd and cd drive... and nothing.
Only the mouse (USB) and the keyboard (PS/2) connected.
I tried the ASUS procedure for "Clear RTC RAM"...
(( it's power cable out, battery out, change jumpers 5-10sec, battery on, cable on ))
And... nothing.
Erm... when possible... if anybody has an idea... help. Please.
Thanks guys...
Peace
AJ
I have no idea.
