UNSOLVED
bios won't boot
I tried adding more ram and now I either get 2 long beeps-followed by 2 short and ten 2 long again. Or I will get the bios trying to start but the bar does not go all the way over and stops and F2 does not work? GX110 with A02 as the bios. Please help??Anyway to reset the bios with jumpers or just take the battery out for one minute? I tried this to no avail. I have tried different memory and different slots and the same thing is happening.
Do U guys have a PCI video card installed. There might be a conflict with the onboard video.
I had this problem also with a windows 2000 machine. Bar would go about 3/4 of the way and hang.
This is how I solved it.
Left my video on auto in the bios.
Removed PCI video card.
Booted up Windows and went into device manager, disabled curent display adapter.
Shut down computer, installed PCI video card.
Booted Windows and it recognized new hardware.
