My motherboard wont boot, Please help
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Youngjedi
I have a A7V333 motherboard and it worked great. I followed the manual on how to change the post voice setting. When I rebooted, the boot stops at the pci configuration screen. Ive updated the bios from 1008 to 1016 to see if that would help, no luck. How do I get passed the PCI configuration list in the boot up?
Please help if you can. It's my Lan gaming machine and I'm having a few friends over in a few days (ie. 7/30/03)

Try removing all of your cards except for you video card. If it boots then, add one pci card at a time.

if that doesnt work, try disabling various things in the bios.

I tried removing all the cards. That didn't work. The Pci device list seems to be ok. After that shows up, the computer should say "computer has completed power on selftest, now booting from operating system". It was my vanity that led me to try and change the voice. I followed the book to the letter and all seemed well until reboot. I've turn the post voice off in the bios and even cleared the cmos. no luck. The Bios original version was 1008. I can only find beta versions of this and they do not work. I've tried a bunch of other good bios, still no luck. I've run out of ideas except for getting a new motherboard. Question, can I just change out the board? or do I have to do a lot of configuring. I'm even ready to format the drive and begin again, but the boot won't let me get that far
Thanks for all your help in advance,
Youngjedi

I've had luck in the past bringing a system back to life without a format of the hard drive on a new motherboard, but the best way to do it would be to format and start over.

contact the support from the manufacturer. im sure you dont want to replace a board that isnt obsolete yet.
