Yay for PC upgrade time!

[DownInFlames]

So, I restarted my computer last night and it wouldn’t post. Can’t even get into the bios. I reset the cmos and the ASUS logo shows up but I still can’t get in. The Boot_device_led is lit which could be trouble.

I might be going shopping this weekend if I can’t get this figured out.

CMOS battery? Had to replace one once..
(real cheap fix if true! Guy at Memory express didn't even charge me)

Yeah try replacing the CMOS battery if you already flashed the BIOS, hell sometimes just pulling the battery for a minute and putting it back works.

If not, your mobo might be toast...o.

Yeah that'll be my next step. i don't have a spare, but it's a CR2032 so I must have something that has one in it.

I got this crate from my brother to use as a computer stand. It's the perfect size. There are ropes on the end to pull it out so you can access the side and back, like I've been doing today.

Looks like it's upgrade time for me as well. This is what I'm going with.

Do you already have a video card?

[DownInFlames]

Yes, I'm all set with everything else.
