I bought the ebay board back in June and haven't had time to test it until now. I got one reply from the seller claiming that the board was working when it was removed from his system and no reply when I tell him there is a clear hardware issue with the board. I don't see how swapping the BIOS will work if the board won't even POST with only the CPU. I will try swapping the BIOS tonight to see if that helps but I doubt it. Looking at just selling my ASUS board and buying 2 newer ones with onboard RAID5 to use for the server. Seems to be less trouble and cost wise roughly the same give or take 10€.

I done that with both motherboards and what I have found is this: The new graphics card I bought (Raedon 5450) does not work with either ASUS board but it works fine in my main rig (no idea why that is btw). The graphics card from my main rig works fine in my ASUS board. The graphics card from my main rig when inserted to the Ebay motherboard, the fan spins like crazy instantly. Also, no beeps from the Ebay board with only power and CPU connected

I wanted to turn my old perfectly working computer into a dedicated software RAID server. I bought an identical motherboard off ebay to have a spare, and some extra parts to complete the system. This is what I have: Asus M2n-E motherboard (2 of them) AMD Athlon X2 4600+ Corsair 4GB DDR2 Ram ATI 5450 GFX Card WD 160GB HDD Corsair TX650W PSU Storage HDD will be bought once this is working I took out the CPU and RAM from the computer and put it into the eBay board to test it. Then I put it into the case, and attached the PSU and GFX card. Pushed the power button, fans spin, HDD makes some noise but nothing on the screen or any beeps. Reset the BIOS on the eBay board, still the same. Try the dual RAM sticks independantly, still the same. Tried a different GFX card, different PSU, and no change. So I thought the Ebay board was broken. Sent an email to the seller and began to put all the parts back into my old motherboard. Here's the kicker, once everything was back into my motherboard, the exact same problem. Fans spin, LEDs on, HDD clicks but nothing on the screen or any beeps. Tried different RAM, PSU, GFX Card, Monitor, cables, no luck! I thought I had damaged the CPU as I had a bit of difficulty installing the new heatsink (an Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro) so I bought a new CPU (AMD Athlon X2 5200+) but still the exact same problem. Nothing on screen, no warning beeps. I am at wits end, I have tried everything and it still won't work. I have used 2 PSUs, 2 GFX Cards, 2 monitors & 3 cables, 2 CPU's, 2 Motherboards, 2 HDDs, and tried the Dual DDR2 sticks independently. The only thing I haven't tried changing is the upgraded heatsink!! I am at wits end, can anyone tell me why my computer will not show anything on the screen or make any beeps??? *Edit All troubleshooting spares (PSU, GFX card, and monitor) came from my main rig which is still working. The second CPU is one I bought brand new not off Ebay. Heatsink was a stock cooler before upgrading to the Freezer 7.

*Edit4 Appears it was just a faulty USB stick, used a different one, made the change to flash.ini and it installed fine. Thanks for the help anyway

Here's the textsetup file I'm using XP Pro SP3 on a 1GB memory stick just in case that helps. Thanks

There are two entries for flash.inf in txtsetup.sif, remove this one: flash.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0 This duplicates would not affect setup from a CD, or using the latest 1.0 beta6 version. I've been lingering on these forums for a while now but unfortunately the solutions here are so effective, my problems get solved before I have the need to sign up. The knowledge present in these forums are very impressive but finally I got a reason to sign up I had the same problem as RicaNeaga with the flash.inf. I deleted the entry in txtsetup.sif as ilko suggested and that worked but now I get "Setup cannot copy the file: iyuv.dll". What should I do now? Can I install the dll after windows has installed?
