OT:Problems with a7n8x-x motherboard instalation

[Dragon]

I just installed a 2400 amd xp and an asus a7n8x-x motherboard into a new
case.
Fresh harddrive or harddrive with xp while booting gives me a "warning new
cpu have been installed" then freezes.
I cant get into the bios ect.
What can i do? Where may the problem be???
Thanks in advance

Errrmmmm, how can a question about an Asus motherboard be OT in an Asus
motherboard newsgroup???????

Fresh harddrive or harddrive with xp while booting gives me a "warning new
cpu have been installed" then freezes.
I cant get into the bios ect.
What can i do?

I'd whip out the motherboard battery and clear CMOS - the jumper's right
there next to it. This has worked here whenever my overclocking fiddling
has screwed things up. It's got me back into BIOS anyway.

Where may the problem be???

My A7N8X-X has it's moments too, and I haven't a clue why.

Thanks in advance

My advice is probably worthless.

Good luck

I'd suggest clearing the BIOS first. Make sure your power supply is off -
flip the switch on the back. Then press the power button on the computer.
Just to make sure. Then move the Jumper to clear the BIOS. Leave it in the
clear position for a few seconds.

If this doesn't work, try holding down the insert key when you power up.
This sometimes bypasses the BIOS settings and will allow you too get into
the BIOS.
