Windows 7: Unable to enter BIOS ASUS f1a55-m le motherboard

Hi Green.



I believe you have the Board manual. You might want to check with Chapter 1 page 14. It's actually just like what James has told you. If it still doesn't work you can try combining it by also removing the CMOS battery and do the jumper as indicated.
But still have to make sure your wireless keyboard battery are still good and have it properly reset.

I seem to have taken a few steps back! I changed to a wired keyboard and mouse but still couldn't access BIOS so I cleared the CMOS. As soon as I rebooted the screen attached appeared. So I pressed F1 and was left with a black screen. I powered off the PC and rebooted but now Windows won't even start. I've tried system recovery but it's not working! :S

any suggestions?

Uninstall your GPU and Connect one monitor to your onboard. Try again and let us know what happens.

There isn't a GPU, only a APU? Do I still uninstall?

Huh? Didn't you say you have a discrete 6670? That's a GPU. Remove it and connect one monitor to the onboard video out.

Looking at that picture the bios isn't detected either the mouse or keyboard. Just did a quick restart on mine and it shows both the mouse and keyboard (both wired and USB) as detected, where yours is shows zeroes.

Try with just the keyboard and connect it to each of the USB ports on the back, restarting each time (won't work otherwise) and hopefully on one of them it will finally detect the keyboard.

If that still fails you wouldn't happen to have one of these lying around would you?



If everything else fails I would consider contacting Asus and see what they have to say.

Right I understand, I've removed the graphics card and connected on board, but exactly the same happens!

Thanks stormy13 i've reconnected the USB and it is showing on that screen, So they are been recognised. But still having the problem I mentioned above after i cleared the CMOS

In common with many a BIOS the screen tells you to press F1 to enter setup, which is the BIOS setup. Being Asus the wireless keyboard shouldn't matter, the BIOS loads a key\mouse driver.

Later I will try removing the CMOS battery as suggested and try again. If I can't get it working is there a fix? Will I need to reset to factory settings or have I messed up the hardware?
