Hi,
I just a new mother board (Epox Socket 775 800 FSB) and when i booted up yesterday, with my old HD it worked fine, with no sound though (onboard...but lets no worry about the sound for right now). I did the Windows updates and had all my data pretty much the way I had it. After one of the many Windows updates, it prompted for a restart....fine. Thats when I ran into my problem
After the reboot, now I get a black screen. I cant get into the BIOS to change anything, I cant boot from a CD-ROM. I have tried many things already to try and fix this:
I have tried replacing the Video card with a known working card.
I have tried putting the Memory module (which is a DDR2 512MB) in a new slot. (I dont have a spare to try as of yet)
I tried waiting an hour and trying again ( I read that worked for someone)
I tried starting from scratch...booting with only keyboard and mobo, and still I get the black screen (obviosly) and the longgggg beeps.
I think this is a mobo problem but I'm not 100%
Can anyone offer any advice?
