Hi folks, wonder if someone has been in this problem before and can help
I'm finally building my new pc after being ill and not having much spare time, it's 3 years since I built the last one which was a breeze.
Asus M5A99x Evo (not R2) . I've got the mobo on top of the esd bag and cardboard and have attached power supply 24pin lead, cpu, cpu fan, cpu power lead. Also gfx card and linked to monitor, 2x2Gb memory which is on the qualified vendors list.
I get no post at all, no beeps, no cpu fan, no psu fan, with or without gfx card connected.
I do get green light on mobo led for power, so psu and mobo are alive, gfx card is from old pc, so I know it's alive. have checked which dimm slots mem should be in and also tried one stick in A2. silence !
CPU is fx6300. Some googling tells me the bios version is the last 4 digits on the sticker on the mobo = 1208. More googling tells me I need 1604 for this cpu. OK, so I need to update the bios.
How do I do this when I get no post ? I can't see anything on the monitor at all, let alone a bios screen !
Can I use the ez flash option ? Presume I load the 1604 bios onto usb stick (does it need to be fat32?) plug it into a mobo usb port and switch on ?
thanks to anyone who can help an old duffer !
