Striker 2 extreme posts, then stops.

[germs]

I recently built my system, and have had a million problems (fans leaking oil, ect). Now, when I updated my BIOS from 0402 to 0701, it just won't work. I've tried resetting the CMOS, and removing the battery, and nothing works. I'm pretty frustrated because I just can't do anything, other than hear the POST sound.

Any ideas? I'm 100% lost here.

By thhe way, at that point, the little blue LCD says "testing vram" but that shouldn't be the problem.

Could be a bad power supply, bad ground, or your bios is corrupted. Try posting the board out side the case (on top of a card board box) with bare minimal hardware (cpu, 1x stick of memory, and video card).

I'm pretty sure the BIOS is corrupted. Can I reset that memory somehow?

It used to work (with a previous update version), so I just don't know what the problem is. I do only have one more day to RMA it though, so maybe that would be the best option? Unless I can delete 0701 somehow?

I bought it the 24th... I'd assume if I ship it tomorrow, it will still count as within my one month with Newegg?

EDIT: Wow, forgot it is only the 12th. Awesome. Still doesn't fix it though!

if it was working fine befor the bios update you may of killed the bios with the update RMA it better to be safe than sorry good luck.

Maybe pull a stick of ram out, reboot and download Vista SP1 as it will have the 4gb fix, I assume your using 4GB? I've had simiilar problems, when the fix is downloaded it solved mine.

the striker II bios problem has happend to a lot of people, for some reason it corrupts th bios data.
on frozen cpu they sell a device that can backup the original bios , switch a switch and then install bios update, if the bios fails... simply flip the switch, i had it on my old computer.
