Hello all - wondering if anyone can help me.
I recently tried to update the BIOS on my ASUS P5KC using the in-built "EZ Flash" utility (I downloaded the latest version directly from the ASUS website). During the update, it came up with the message saying everything was successful, but upon restarting... nothing. Literally. I get a blank screen and that's it - the fans fire up, but there's no POST.
What happened:
- Plugged in USB drive
- Restarted and went into BIOS
- Opened EZ Flash
- Located ROM on USB drive
- Loaded and started
- EZ Flash then erased the old BIOS and wrote the new one
- Message "Complete - restart in 5 seconds"
- PC restarted
- Blank screen
What I've tried:
- Removing battery (for up to 5 hours) + pressing and holding power button for 1 minute... and putting the battery back
- Inserting the disc that came with the motherboard and rebooting (in an attempt to get SOME form of response)
- Inserting USB drive (that has new ROM on it)
(I've still got the USB stick with the updated BIOS on it).
Anyone got any ideas? Any help really appreciated
