You Fool<--note to self !
For no good reason I played with my BIOS settings on K8V-X SE Mobo and now I am stuck with a blank screen, no sign off life except for the light on the MOBO.
I changed a lot of settings, one I remember was to do with CHASSIS another was CPU Voltage(by 0.1 volts) and Graphics Aperture and others.
I then got some error after 'SAVE CHANGES AND EXIT' , it insisted on my inserting the BIOS CD into the tray. It went through some steps which I took to be resetting , lucky I had the CD handy it seemed to be fixing it and teaching me a lesson not to much with that which i do not understand. However on completion of a couple of steps that I took from messages to be about recovery the screen went blank and it stays that way. [noparse]:([/noparse]
Seems like it wont even load BIOS anymore. It still turns off and On I can tell from lights on MOBO and case and fan .
I found the manual and followed the procedure to reset by changing a jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 for several seconds then back again. Then restart... still nothing. Lights come on & fan spins but nothing on screen. Have tried this also holding down delete key. no good.
Then I removed mobo battery for several seconds hoping that might have a positive effect. Still nothing.
Has anyone else got a bad feeling yet ?
