I just built a system using a GA-8IPE1000 MoBo, and I can't get into the
BIOS setup.
System components are: 2 sticks of Crucial PC-3200 256MB 400 DDR-SDRAM,
total 512MB, and an Intel P4 2.8GHz proc running on a 533MHz BUS,
video is a BFG Asylum GeForce4 MX440-SE 64MB DDR AGP card, plus the two
drives mentioned below.
When I boot the system, the BIOS is slow to load.
It sees the proc and memory fine, but takes 10 minutes to identify the two
drives; WD 120MB HDD and Lite-On DVD burner combo, both on separate IDE
channels, then it freezes, and never gets to the setup screen.
I've tried hot and cold boots sever times, and the same thing happens.
I'm wondering if the BIOS chip is bad?
Anyone else have this same problem?
Thanks.
JL.
