    Unhappy Bad news

    I was tightening the timings on my A64 rig from the bios, rebooted and no post, poped the battery out for about 30 minutes, I put the battery back in, pressed power, no post I really hope its not dead, if so, there goes about 93% of my total output

    That really sucks, Lead Head. Sorry to hear of your loss.

    Have you tried booting with only one HDD, one stick of ram, cpu, and video card?

    the manual says that the slot closet to the CPU is the dual channel slot, i tried it anyways, no go. The are no beep codes from the speaker, when I power it up it sounds like the speaker atempts to make a noise, but then it goes quiet.

    When I had my A8V deluxe it used to need the CPU to be re seated after a particularly bad crash before it would post. No idea why reseating the CPU brought it back from the dead though.
    Microsoft's homepage can be found at: thesource-dot-ofallevil-dot-com - interesting, no?

    Think of something witty and imagine it here.

    Many ASUS boards have that, I also had a few of them. Might help

    Tried reseating, no luck...If this means anything, the CPU gets warm, and my CD-ROM drives access lights keep blinking like someones reaching over and hitting the reset button every few seconds
