So I get home one day, and turn my computer on.
It lights up, hard drives start up, but it doesnt post.
Turn it off, try again.... same thing.
I turn it on (still no post) and let it sit over night.... nothing.
I unplug all un-needed hd's (leaving only my os)... still nothing.
I try one more time, and for some reason it works.

I imedietly go to asus's wesite and download a bios update.
Hesitantly turn computer off and restart
..... doesnt post and I cant get it to boot so I cant even update.

Im really at a lose for words.
It wont post so how do I even get into the bios to update?

btw, I have xp and 7 dual boot.

the update I found but cant even apply?

If i remember correctly you have to reset the OV CPU jumper! to default then try. if your overclocking or not your computer ws probably running hot!

well im not really sure what your talking about? I looked through my manual and didnt find anything about a CPU jumper and didnt seen anything on my motherboard.
For the record I wasnt overclocking so I never changed any jumpers?

ok problem solved for the time being and for the sake of knowledge, ill post what i did.
I unpluging all components and testing after each trying to isolate the problem.
I got all the way down to my cpu and heard that my fan might be shorting out, so i unplugged my cpu fan, turned it on and it posted! yay! I then plugged everything back in, testing after each to try and figure out the problem component. I finished plugging everything in and it worked fine!

sooo..... I still dont know what the problem but the answer is a new motherboard, which i needed anyways.
