Well, my monitor had that problem, and what fixed mine is turning all power save options off..

It is an A7V right? My server had that problem, just update the BIOS to the latest version (as long as u can actually boot into windoze).

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH sunlit

how many of you ppl who bash sunlit actually had problems with it ? Cuase i got a mobo , harddrive, cdrom and ram from em (admittedly not @ the same time)
and they all work. Back to topic tho, those error sound like ACPI just shat itself on you - if you find a way to get into to ure bios , try turning off

Yes i can say i had puter problems from sunlit.
i bought a system from them and on average i had to take it back to them once a month or close enough to that.
i cant remember the amount of things that had to be replaced or fixed.

so i do have a legit reason!

Id never buy a system from ne1 tho, simply cause itd be cheaper to get the parts ureself, and a system means they can use the cheapest parts possible ie crap quality

"just update the BIOS to the latest version (as long as u can actually boot into windoze)."

you "Flash" your bios to update it, put it on a boot disk and flash it.

y, honestly, y, after EVERYONE has said DONT BUY FROM SUNLIT did you go and buy from sunlit?

are you stoned or stupid?

he's certainly not smart
=P

if it doest boot past your bios screen chances are its your hdd, if you get into bios, try to auto detect your hdd's . if it cant find them then try unplugging it and plugging it back in ( both power and ide cable)

i assume rubber was referring to the online method of updating your bios, ie thru asus live update which means he can update his bios easily via a windows program while his machine is actually in windows, eds ya dumb f***

ok,
i cant even boot into windows and yes it is a a7v
i would go into bios if i could but when i try it just comes up wit black screen with blinkin hyfon..
i trtied taking my HDD out and my vid card.. it still dun work
..
now i have no puter for QGL either :(

have you reset cmos?

yea i have.. :(
im at skool i got about 15 mins left here so hurry fix my probs :P

replace the mobo
all fixed

u really u think ican afford another 300 on top of my 300 dorrah istallation for ADSL and prolly another 400 for a monitor?

im 16
i earn like 120 a weel\k
come on thers gotta be another way

use the 300 mhz smart

ash, you dont even know what a computer is you dumb f*** so get f***ed

smart, maybe you should TAKE IT BACK!!!!!

dont ring and ask, just walk in ans say FIX IT YOU LITTLE BITCH

Yeah, I think that's the best thing you can do. They can't refuse you if you just take it in there.

mmmmm yeah supposeably it is out of warranty

This is all assuming it's out of warranty, if its still in warranty (check your reciepts), u shouldn't
fiddle with the machine, take it back, and/or lodge a complaint with consumer affairs if unsatisfied.

As a last resort, beg, borrow, or steal an internet connection temporarily,

find your bios update at http://www.asus.com.tw/products/motherboard/bios.html
grab the installer too http://www.asus.com.tw/products/motherboard/bios_tools.html
read the online help if u have to http://www.asus.com.tw/products/motherboard/flash.html

save the bios update (it'll be a bin file), and the installer to a boot floppy.
boot your machine to a prompt, and install from the command line, the help page is pretty straightforward.


If sunlit wont repair it, you must have freinds with a net connection, if the bios update doesn't rectify the fault, you may have no choice but replace it.

HEHEHEH TRUE TRUE :P

Hey Smart I can lend you my P120 @ 200 lol It's ATX andd has 64mb of ram, but only a 1mb PCI card =Þ

Sunlit built my second last system and it was a POS.
$1000 for the box with the cheapest s*** they could find - the ram didnt work at all, the mobo blew after 2 weeks and the cpu was farked.

I am NEVER going near them again - My new comp motto is if you want a system built well - do it yourself.
I have offically not had one problem with this comp i made myself and I recommend to everyone to do it that way.

Now lets laff at the people who bring compaqs to qgl ;P.
