hello,
ok so i have had my mother board (asus a7n8x-x) and my cpu (amd athlon 2400+) for something close to 2 years. and i am now unable to use my computer. At random my computer started having "start-up" problems. eg
-instead of loading to the first bios screen. it sits idle on black screen (monitor light flickers) and dosnt load until i shut it off.
-loads to bios and tells me that my CPU speed/voltage/or something like that, isnt set properly. So i go into bios set it, save and exit then find that it goes back to the black screen without loading.
the only way i have ever been able to get it past the black idled screen is to turn off computer, swap the CMOS clip (connector thing) turn computer back on and HOPE ! that it gets up to the bios screen, where it then asks me to reset the CPU speed/voltage again. After doing this the cycle repeats.
i dont know what the problem is, i was going to take it into a shop to get looked at but alot of people on here have been right about alot of things before so i thought that i should chgeck it over first.
please help. thanks
