Hi,

I have an Asus A8N-E mobo that has been running fine for a year now. I recently went into BIOS to turn off my CPU fan speed warning, but I was half asleef and managed to raise my PCI-e frequency from 100 MHz to 145 MHz. I had already pressed F10 to save changes before I had realized what I had done.

When my computer reset after saving the BIOS settings, everything powered up (all fans including chipset, psu, gpu, cpu, and case fans all wer spinning) but my motherboard did not make it characteristic beep before booting to the first BIOS screen. All I hear is a little click (which I normally hear right before the beep), but nothing else happens and the monitor receives no input whatsoever.

I tried removing my graphics card, removing all RAM, and I put a little jumper over the motherboard's reset pins. Nothing happened as a result of each one. Disconnecting my mobo from power and letting it sit for and hour did not do anything.

Please help!!

Thank You
 
Clear the CMOS. Pop out that little battery in your mobo for a minute or so and stick it back on. Let me know if that works or not.
 
if that doesn't work there should be a little jumper with 3 pins you remove the jumper from the 1 and 2 pins and put it on the 2 and 3 for about 10 seconds then put it back to the 1 and 2 pins and that will reset it
 
Hooray

Lol I tried replacing the jumper originally but that didn't work. I removed the battery after reading your suggestions and that alone didn't work. So i tried doing both in combination and voila! it finally booted after much crying and fist-pounding.

Thank you all for your generous help to this computer noob.
