ASUS P4P800-VM Boot Problem

This is my first post and right off I am asking for help.....sorry.

I have an ASUS P4P800-VM with 2.6ghz P4 installed.
If it helps I also have installed:
- ATI All In Wonder 9600
- LOGITECH DiNovo Keyboard which brought BLUE TOOTH to my system
- 1 meg memory

I have recently updated to Version 12 BIOS and noticed that I can not boot because it won't complete BIOS check. Well let me explain. The display won't come on until I get signal from my system so here is what is happening and how I found to overcome it.

I turn on power and nothing happens except HD spinning and no BEEPS. I hit all the keys on my keyboard and eventually the BLUE TOOTH light comes on, on the DiNovo mouse recharger.

I then must UnPLUG power from my system, replug and hit power on button.

After this RePLUG my BLUE TOOTH light is on....and system comes to the same point....BUT NO I CAN HIT "ESCAPE" on the keyboard and the system will check BIOS and beep and display starts and system boots.

I have thought about backing to Version 11 BIOS but not sure what a back down of BIOS might do and thought I would ask for help first.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

 

It's ok, but you're on your own.

Glockerdude,

The Award BIOS flash utility makes provision for saving the old bios to reinstall if the new bios is not satisfactory. So, if you have the old bios, it's ok to flash it over the new to get your machine back to what works for you, realizing that flashing a bios carries no guarantees.

 

Welcome to the board!
My reply was going to be similar to sparrow's

Have you thought of using a different keyboard and mouse?

 

I think I might have found my problem while waiting for replies.

I changed something called Interrupt 19? Any idea what that is all about?

 

Clear the CMOS

 

Interrupt 19

Glockerdude,

Interrupts are a mechanism programs use to communicate with the BIOS (basic i/o system) to access hardware. After the bios does it's part in booting your computer, it continues to function as a layer of the os (operating system) to run the machine.

Windows is running hundreds of threads (small programs) in the background, so interrupts must be and are shared by many of these, as well as by large programs you run.

Please report exactly what you did to change the interrupt, and why, so we can try to answer your question.
