Today I went to BIOS settings - on my dual 1GHz P3 1GB RDRAM Windows 2000 machine - to check my Cache settings and, like an IDIOT I am, reset
Auto Configure Optimal Settings - to YES, from NO.
After reboot My computer comes back with a Motherboard Supermicro screen on it
with
PRESS TAB or DELETE.
Small problem, it does not do anything from this point on...
Comes back with a black screen and sits there...
Rebooted many times, once somehow got into SCSI Utilities, does not show anything there.
After I press Power ON switch, both hard drives and lights come on.
In five sec, or so, one drive - OS - goes out first, then second - my files - goes out.
So BIOS never procedes to let drives stay on.
Never proceded to OS portion to bootup.
Another reboot, the same.
Called my all-knowledgeable neigbor, computer engineer-genius.
We decided to reset a bios on a motherboard, to flash it out, per manual instructions, no success.
In process of doing this, my Power supply stops working.
Cannot start from the switch in a back or by pressing a front button.
Checked everything possible.
Removed video card, no change.
Decided to stop here without taking out, as manual says, SCSI card, RAM, etc. for now...
Tomorrow ordering new Power Supply.
Read a manual, went to Supermicro site, useless, of course.
Searched thru Copernic, nothing mentioned...
Any guesses, what did I kill?
