Hi I have just finished my new build and have a problem.
when I turned the power on the computer lit up and the fans started OK
The Initial MB setup screen started but only flashed on every five seconds with the prompt "press DEL to enter Bios setup". Nothing happens, the light on the mouse flashes when the setup screen appears then goes off and the keyboard doesn't seem to work, cant get the caps or number lock to stay on. I tried another keyboard but same result. I tried it plugged into USB port and with the adaptor in the keyboard slot.
The MB is brand new in box even tho its a couple of years old now. Its a MSI 925X Neo Platinum. I have not installed anything on the PC yet as I thought you had to get the MB up and running before installing O/S etc. I will be using XP home edition. I had to put a Graphic card in as there was no socket to connect my monitor to on the MB. This is placed in the PCI Express slot and is an NVidia 7200GS. I have 2 x 1gb ram in their respective slots, one in green and one in orange so dual channel is enabled, infact everything has been bought according to spec of MB.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
