I've just built a new system:
Core Duo 2
ABIT IN9 32X-MAX
2gb (1gb x2) DDR800
Geforce 8600 GT SLI (from ASUS)
400gb SATA WD HD
DVD Drive
Pretty basic.
Everything is set up, and the system posts, however when I try to enter the BIOS it takes me to a blank screen, looks like a DOS prompt. When I check the POST screen I get the "Checksum Error, press f1 to continue or DEL to enter setup." At that point when I press F1 i'm at the screen where I normally would have a boot disk to install my OS, but I don't want to continue if I can't even get into the BIOS.
I've tried unplugging everything except the memory and GFX to no avail, I still cant get to the BIOS. I even left only one DIMM in, still just get that black screen once i press DEL.
Anyone have any suggestions?
