I`ve been having a few probs with my setup for a few weeks. It started when I updated the bios on my A7N8X to rev.1006. I started to get a few small probs, then
Santa brought me a Canon SB360 All In One. The printer worked but I couldn`t get it to scan to the computer. After re-installing the drivers several times I re booted. The power led comes on, HDD led, CD Rom leds. Power led stays on, all other leds go off, no POST, no beep, no anything on the monitor, it just stays in stand by. Can any of you circuit jockey`s confirm if my BIOS chip is SNAFU or should I be looking elsewhere on my Comp? :wacko:

Have you tried to clear the CMOS?

Whacko not trying to be funny but flashing your bios is not for the faint hearted.
Iv heard of reputable shops screwing them up. Check out Badflash.com for help.

Have you tried flashing back to your previous BIOS ?

Edit:
If you used the flash utility you should have your previous BIOS already sitting there on a disk.
