| I have a problem in my BIOS or something. Whenever I change a setting in my BIOS and I select Exit Saving Changes, the BIOS shuts off and the power is still on. It's supposed to restart the computer. Also, whenever I hold the power button down to shut the computer because of above problem, the computer doesn't actually boot until 3 times of holding the power button to turn on and off. I started having this problem when I installed the BIOS Update from HP (through HP Windows-based BIOS Upgrade Utility and using Windows 7 x64) Motherboard: A8M2N-LA (Nodus M) BIOS in Question: Phoenix BIOS 3.10 (12/23/2007) Acquired from here Question: Should I reflash the BIOS again using the same utility in Windows XP or should I find another BIOS from Asus. |
| It's not recommended to update the BIOS unless the current BIOS makes you experience trouble. Try a BIOS from Asus first, and if that doesn't work, try downgrading it. |
| It seemed that it also messed up the onboard video BIOS so my dual screen setup coming from the onboard and my 8600GT is gone. Guess it looks like I need to find myself a DVI-VGA adapter now. |
| Do you have a laptop? If not, you can try flashing the BIOS or resetting the BIOS to factory settings. |
| I don't know. I might screw it up again. Anyways, I have Windows 7 up and running again and found a DVI-VGA adapter so I practically have what I had before but 64 bit OS don't work anymore for me. When there's a break for school, then I'll try to reflash the BIOS to factory settings then. |

Mukyaa(PM) said: I guess you can lock that thread for now since my computer works except for a few BIOS problems It seems you got your computer working other than a few details. I'm sorry you could not find a solution to solve your problem 100%, but feel free to make a new thread on any future problem anytime. ~Locked |
