When you say BIOS access page, what do you mean? The message that says " Press F2 to access setup" or do you get a display of your PC's parameters?

Any bleeps when you start? Any messages?

Have you reseated the memory and all PCI cards? Is your keyboard functioning?

What brought this fault on? When was your PC last working correctly?

boots to blue screen 'press tab to show post, alt f2 to enter ez flash. single beep followed by very short beep. No keyboard functions. suspect problem may have been coincident with case fan failure although 12v supply is still there and has max ripple of 10mV. Obviously fan is now out of circuit. no pci cards, memory reseated.

CrashFree BIOS 2
The CrashFree BIOS 2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery function in a support CD. Users can reboot their system through the support CD when a bootable disk is not available, and go through the simple BIOS auto-recovery process. ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.

Read the motherboard manual.

You shouldn't need to use the "ez flash" program ... try the above.

cheers Muckshifter, what you mean is RTFM? Unfortunately I cannot get into bios or get to run off cd or floppy

Sorry OG, didn't mean to put it that way ...

I take it you've tried resetting the BIOS with the MB jumper?
