On the bootup the following error message is started in Voice error message:
"SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO CPU OVERCLOCKING" even though I have never changed the setting in BIOS CPU brand newly installed.
Motherboard manual suggested to turn down the setting on CPU in BIOS ............. BUT
No way to get into BIOS either because Monitor is blank all the way through the boot process.
what i have tried so far:
1) one stick of ram and swapped
2) cleared CMOS 2x
3) swapped power supply
4) swapped Mobo
5) Tested CPU
Your Help much appreciated TIA, Randy

sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box .

vid card works fine in other rig, but have not swapped vid cards...hmmm do you think that maybe this board is picky about the card?

yeah sounds like its "picky" as you might say... I've had a mobo work fine with a nividia card and when ya try to put a ATI in it..it never worked very odd but as put it was "picky" As far as the boot message about overclocking ya really can't tell till ya get some sort of video display going. I've seen this issue somewhere else too I'll look around and try to find it and see what the result was.

Man, finding a lot of ram issues with that board when trying to search for your problem
Their should be an fsb jumper, try putting that to 100 if the mobo needs a new bios to run that chip, it should work at a lower speed if u can force it there.

have you checked for a BIOS update for the mobo?
There is an update I beleive, but i have no way to get into the bios. I have no pci slots used. Actually I just have bare minimum floppy drive bcz i am sick of pulling cables and crap... I just want in the fricken Bios

I have researched this mobo and what i realize:
1) asus is good "if you can get it to run"
2) Asus had a recall on thease boards due to a bad capacitor
3) I talked to a local shop here in town and they said 7 out of the last 10 asus boards were rma'd. i still bought the beaord anyway bcz i figured that maybe he just wanted to sell me an msi board.
4) this thread http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview ... TMP=Linear
One of the features i liked was the audio posts the board can tell you if you got bad ram or vid card is poochafooed Unfortunately thease warning posts are not accurate at all.
I am going to send it back again and try all new cpu ram and mobo!
screw asus
Thx for the help chris, faust, yos and sava

Chris was right! it was a ram issue. I tried 2 different sticks of 512 and no go but then after reading about many other peeps prbs i decided to throw in my old pc 2100 133 > up came the bios w00t! I powerd down and threw in the samsung 512 and BAM! Up came the bios!
* note the ram I have is the correct model etc. but for some reasons there are alot and i mean ALOT! of asus socket 754 motherboards that wont load the bios until it gets the stick it really likes!
YA! me happY!!!!! YAY!!!! YAY HAppy mE!
