Then the DVD disappeared. Now, the system does not bbot at all. The power light comes on. No display, no beep, cpu fan is on. Nothing else. Seems like BIOS has disappeared. "


I can press the power button to turn it off or press reset to restart. But I can't get it to start at all. I tested the CPU in another ASUS board and it is working. Seems like BIOS is in chaos but the board itself seems functional. I figure if I can flash the BIOS, may be I can get it to boot up and see if the mobo is working. I hate to just give up and get a new board without exhausted all my options. Right now hot swapping looks feasible.

If you any other suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
Was this from a previous thread here?
If so what recommendations did you get?
From what you describe, sounds like more than the bios.
I appreciate the fact that you want to try everything, so try here:
