Recently I bought an "ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0" motherboard to go along with my other components which are as follows,
EVGA GTX 670 FTW
Seagate Barracuda 2tb HDD
AMD FX-8320
Corsair VS650 650w PSU
Strontium 1x8GB RAM
Now, when I boot up my PC, the CPU light flashes a few times, and then stops as is should. But the RAM light flashes for a bit, the screen displays a message that reads,
"WARNING! BIOS Recovery mode has been detected.
Please put the file "M5A97E20.CAP" into HDD or a removable USB media device
And then reset your computer.
You can also insert your ASUS Support CD to your CD-ROM and reset your computer.
If you have done these. Please wait a moment and don't shutdown system!!!"
and then promptly goes black. After that has happened, the RAM lights then starts flashing at a faster pace, and it displays the same message, before turning black again. This happens around 4 times, before the RAM checking finishes, and the RAM lights go out, leaving me with a black screen, with the same bold white text on it. I've attempted to do what it says, with a USB drive in the FLASH port, but upon restart, the screen goes black and none of the motherboards lights turn on.
I have tried resetting the CMOS by taking out the battery and waiting as long as 15 minutes, and even tried using the jumpers.
When I turn on the computer after it being off though, the motherboard does the RAM check again, and I've got a hunch that it probably shouldn't, and that the memory from the previous check was lost. My assumption is that the BIOS battery is dead, but I am relatively new to this subject, and it's simply a hunch.
Either way, I've spent the last few hours trying to fix it to no avail.
The BIOS version on the sticker says it's 2501, which is the latest one, and seeing as compatibility for my CPU was added in 1006, I'm confident all my parts are compatible.
