Bios post problems

[thegrandusb]

Ok, so I got this old motherboard, replaced the cpu, now I got this message. The board posts but I get the message in the photo. And when I try to enter my bios, it’s just a black screen, no matter if I have a dgpu or igpu installed.
The cpu is a intel celleron g850i believe.
4 gigs of ram
no os
evga 700 watt bronze
just let me know if I missed anything, thanks. when I tried to reset the bios with the battery and the jumper, they didn’t work, so I’m at a loss

I tried to attach a image but I don’t know how. Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I get this message

Please enter setup to recover bios setting.
CPU overvoltage error
Press f1 to run setup

You got a message on your screen that you could read with at least one connection system between your mobo and monitor, so set it up that way again. Now, try this for getting into BIOS Setup. Often at bottom left it says to "Press Del key", or maybe another key - note that carefully. For my system it is the "Del" key. Sometimes the system does not happen to be checking the keyboard at just the right time. So my habit is, right after I turn on the system and it starts its POST process, I hold that key down until the opening screen of BIOS Setup appears.

Now, since you tried to Reset the BIOS, do this to complete the process. Go to one of the last screens where you have some options for exiting. Look there (or maybe a related screen) for options to Load Factory Defaults or, even better, Load Optimized Defaults, and do that. This will load a complete and stable set of default settings into BIOS configuration. Now, if you know any other customized configuration settings you need to set (maybe a boot device?), set that. Then remember to SAVE and EXIT to save those settings and reboot the machine. NOTE that, if your mobo has its own video output system on board, this will select that as the default video output and your monitor will have to be plugged into the MOBO's output ports on the back connector panel, and NOT into any added video card in the PCIe slots.

Once you can at least see the POST messages, if it can complete that cleanly and ask for you to insert a disk in the boot device so it can find the OS, you can decide whether you should change to a video card output in BIOS Setup.

It actually has no options, just something That says ncst.com for the bios splash, no key numbers

What is the maker and exact model number of the mobo? Then we can look up its manual and advise further.

It's an asus p8h61-m le/csm Rev 2.01

Get the mobo manual here

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8H61-M_LE_R2.0/E7434_P8H61-M_LE_R2.pdf?_ga=2.22215675.1351482105.1535473625-1856104645.1502368712

On p.2-6 it says the "Del" key is the right one to hold down to enter BIOS Setup. If that still does not seen to help, try clearing the CMOS RAM again. See manual p. 1-24 for details, including the extra step at page bottom for removing and later replacing the battery. When you first turn on again, immediately hold down the "Del" key to get to the Setup opening screen. Then see p. 2-6, fourth paragraph of notes at the bottom, and p. 2-30 regarding Load Optimized Defaults.

Have you checked whether the battery is dead? A dead battery normally would NOT prevent you from entering BIOS Setup, but it will prevent you from saving any changed settings.

Battery is not dead I tried Following the instructions it beeps but it doesn’t like my keyboard input before beeps again

You might try this. On some old mobos the mobo itself does NOT have any support for USB ports at boot time, so you can NOT use a USB keyboard with it to do what you need. The ONLY keyboard and mouse support on some is on the older PS/2 ports. So if you can find or borrow a keyboard with a PS/2 connector on its cable and plug THAT into the rear panel keyboard port, the mobo may be able to "see" that and respond properly.

Hint: the wiring and signals of a PS/2 port and a USB2 port are very similar, so a quite simple adapter is available that "converts" the USB2 connector on the end of a keyboard to a PS/2 connector that can plug into that rear socket.

I did that but it still does not except a signal until it beeps

Is there any detail about "it beeps"? The pattern is used as an error code. The normal system that is working just fine will go though the POST process while displaying a few reassuring items on the screen, then put out a single short beep to signal success. Then it proceeds to try to boot from the designated boot drive. Anything other than a single short beep as POST completes is a code for what is not right, but that code is a little different for the various mobos. So, what beep code are you getting?

I’m getting one short beep on startup, 2 long and 4 short when I get the cpu overvoltage error

You need to identify the mobo maker and model number, then search for what its beep codes mean.
