Hey all,
I've had this computer running for almost a year. I went to turn it on this morning like I always do. Flip the switch to my power bar (so the LEDs aren't running all night), and hit the power button. Normally it spends about 10 seconds or less on the 'ASUS' screen that says hit 'DEL' or 'F2' to go to BIOS setup, and then starts booting. Today however it got stuck there.
Whats more is you cannot even press DEL or F2 and get into the bios, it won't respond at all. I can se my keyboard is getting power because its leds for caps and num lock etc light up, but other than that its non responsive.
The motherboard has 4 status lights "BOOT_LED, VGA_LED, DRAM_LED, CPU_LED", I can see it cycles through them, and then gets stuck on the BOOT_LED (supposedly if any stay lit, thats an indicator of the issue of some sort).
My challenge is, whats the problem here? If my SSD died, why can't I even get into the BIOS setup. I've made an attempt at doing the CMOS reset, but I'm not certain it worked, and its just doing the exact same thing getting locked at that ASUS screen.
Any thoughts? Should I take my ssd out to see if it does soemthing different? Do i need a new motherboard?
