BIOS NOT RESPONDING (Intel DH67BLB3)

[amoretam]

Hello there, I come from this Thread: Installing Win7 or Using Universal Restore - Asus Vivobook

I found the culprit of my system crashing but now......
while I was trying to clean install Windows 7, all of a sudden I have no BIOS and no video signal.
I wonder if I got a corrupted BIOS and how could I get into it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks a lot

Hello amoretam,

Does the computer show any lights (Power LED, Mouse, Keyboard), any fans?

Hello amoretam,

Yes, everything working, except I see no BIOS post, only black monitor with no signal

Thanks

what you meant by resetted the bios? Was that when you could still access to it then in parameters did reset to factory?

Did you removed/changed the small battery to ClearCMOS too? What key on your keyboard you have to press to access your bios. Some have the Key F1 too, to access the pre-bios settings another way when it goes wrong.

If you insert the Windows CD does it stills get a black screen with not even a small mark top left?

Looks about a small laptop, not a builded computer. Sorry It's micro ATX motherboard

PS: I do not Like Acronis True Image anymore since it had turn to Raw format one of my installed HDD (a bit of my fault because I forgotten to unplug it before working on it)

You will have to wait more answers because I'm unsure if you'll have to reflash your bios or not..

If everything works (LEDs, fans, no Beep codes), then I'd assume that there is something wrong with the monitor. Can you try your monitor on a different computer or laptop, to see if you can get a picture on screen?

I resetted the bios by turning off and unpluggin the PSU, remove the battery for 5 minutes and 30 seconds or pressing the power switch .

I believe F2 is the key to enter the BIOS, but I do not even see the keys to enter like before, is only no signal.

It is a bulded computer.

When I insert the WINDOWS CD it is still not responding.

Thanks a lot

follow first advice given by iko22, re-plug your monitor to another place like vga one r other but one of the motherboard port.

Video drivers or video card I would suspect if the monitor is ok.. test it on another computer... Might be a boot sector problem... but if you cant see ANYTHING then remove, clean and re-seat the video card or install another one. check for a boot sector virus when you are up and running. Silly to think of a reinstall... the screen is black so the screen is not getting a signal... usually the monitor will say that so if it doesn't then I would restart the computer and watch for anything .. if there is nothing showing up then I would go the video card solution.

Hi there, thanks for fast response,
I do not use a video card, my CPU is Sandy Bridge. (You can see my "System Spec" updated)

There is no VGA on my mobo but there is a DVI which I tested and still nothing.
I will test the monitor on another computer to see if it works.

Of course if you do not use a video card then you must have "on-board" video. That can fail too. I guess the processor can fail and if the motherboard has blown then I guess the result will be a black screen. I have a DVI to VGA converter connected to my sound card so i use a TV as a monitor and the HDMI outlet i have for a second TV as monitor. The video card handles it well. My onboard video was never satisfactory anyway. I just like to try the simple and least expensive solutions first. with all the movement of the parts the mainboard could have shorted... I hate it when things get complicated. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Ok, I tested another monitor on the computer via HDMI and nothing, ....
Also used the DVI port...

Thanks

Have a look at the last comment in this thread (hope I'm allowed to post the source), the guy posted a method trying enter the bios (he will be more clear than me detailing the steps).

This worked for me, run the optional steps too for better luck:

• Turn on your CPU
• Keep an eye on your keyboard/mouse light to know when your USB devices get powered. As soon as you see the keyboard/mouse light up, start pressing DEL
• Your CPU should now be going into BIOS although your monitor is still blank and not showing anything.
• (Optional) Wait for 10-20 seconds just to make sure it has entered the BIOS. To make sure the BIOS is up, pressing ALT+CTRL+DEL should restart the CPU. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
• (Optional) Press F9 then left arrow then ENTER to reset BIOS to defaults. Your PC will not restart after this.
• Press F10 then press ENTER.
• Your CPU should restart and now you should be able to see the BIOS option, hit DEL key to enter bios like usual.

Also a way to check the motherboard capacitors and soldered video ports?
you'll have to unmount some parts to have a closer look.

Amoretam, I was not aware of the motherboard called Sandy Bridge. When I started doing some research, I was pleased I didn't have one. I guess you are a Gamer. I am not, so your experience is way beyond mine. But the webpage.... Best Sandy Bridge motherboard: 8 reviewed | TechRadar
gave me a bit of an education. I love windows 7, and my desire to help where I had had a similar experience was what motivated me. But I think the Sandy Bridge stuff is a bit outside my experience. I hope you solved your problem. I would love to hear what you found and how you solved it. Cheers.

Thank you, I still have to follow NoN's last advice. I haven't go the time.

I love Windows 7 too and dislike Windows 10.

I am not a gamer, I am an audio production guy.

Thanks

Thanks

coincidence... my grandson is doing audio engineering at a uni in Sydney... and I am a composer trying to publish and produce my music with skills I have learned over 20 years... and I HATE Windows 10.. Now I find they are adjusting many installations to not be compatible with windows 7. Microsoft needs a real WW serve. They could have left Windows 7 for the "Home User" and made Windows 10 for "Business".... Nearly everything I do is on Windows 7 compatible software. Windows 10 is impossibly over complicated and not at all user friendly for users focused on ART or MUSIC ... I see no real advantages with Windows 10 that could not have been built into the Windows 7 system including OPTIONS for users to use their own computers the way they want to.

Explanations of Hard reset and resetting BIOS
Computers sometimes have the issue of no display, Laptops for sure, unplugging, remove the battery (not CMOS) and pressing the power button quite often is the fix, by discharging the capacitors (residual power). I know of a few unscrupulous tech that charge a substantial fee to do this. If you have ever worked on a computer and didn't perform this step and tinkered with a non-discharged capacitor its a shocking experience!
