Hey guys! I have a small issue. Computer was working fine up until this morning. I bought a new video card yesterday (PNY GeForce 9500GT 512mb PCI-e) and installed it this morning. There was a small note in the box that said go into your BIOS and check that your primary video card was switched to PCI-e and not onboard (which I used previously). I checked that and it had already switched itself over. Now, for whatever reason! I decided to keep looking through the BIOS and noticed that I had my 3rd boot device as the Floppy...I disabled as I have no use for it. Then I disabled the read from FDD also. After that, I went to a section that showed temperatures of the CPU and such. I changed one thing in there...the auto shutdown if anything gets too hot in there basically. I went to save settings and restart and hit yes! After the computer shutdown it started backup, beeped and then shuts down again. This is ALL it does now!! I can't even get into the BIOS anymore, it shuts down before even getting to that point. Is there any help you guys can offer me...I'm stuck at the moment! Thanks in advance!
Reset the BIOS to defaults. On some computers you can do this by holding down the <insert> key on the keyboard during power up. Otherwise, you will need to reset the BIOS to defaults by setting a jumper temporarily on the motherboard. (Check youe motherboard manual on how to do this). When you turned on auto-shutdown one of the temperature settings may have been too low, or you may have a faulty temperature sensor.-
Thanks a bunch for the reply. I actually took care of this problem last night. Works fine and dandy now! Shame I didn't think of it at the time...
