Soltek SL-75FRN: System froze when saving BIOS settings...
Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2003 2:10 am
Hi!
I just bought me a Soltek SL-75FRN nForce2 motherboard and have experienced repeated lockups of my system since installing it. Read somewhere that the mobo has problems with .18 micron CPUs.
Oh well, my big problem is that the last of these lockups occured just somewhere during the 2 seconds it takes for the BIOS to update when saving settings in the Award BIOS screen.
Now my computer just dead. No video, no beeps, no nothing - just a few fans and harddrives making sounds when i press the power button.
Tried the trick where you remove all peripherals, including all Harddrives/CD-ROMs and AGP/PCI cards and try to get the BIOS boot block to boot a floppy diskette with an autoexec.bat that would auto-flash the BIOS, but floppy is all dead and nothing happens.
Any suggestions on what to do about my new and useless board?
