My daughter's computer is 3 years old. It was working fine until yesterday. When I start it, all of the fans come on and the splash screen for the ASUS motherboard (P4P80S) comes up and stays there. Nothing happens. After about 5 minutes I get two beeps and the American Megatrends screen comes up with its entering SETUP screen. After displaying a bunch of info about auto-detecting Sec Master & Slave, it says that Overclocking failed! I didn't know that the system was overclocked. It then instructs me to Please enter Setup to re-configure your system.
Press F1 to run SETUP.
Press F2 to load default values and continue.
I pressed F2 and the screen went blank.
After a while (I didn't time it), the Windows XP setup screen came up and asked if I wanted to start XP, but it wouldn't respond to the keyboard. So I let it sit again.
After a while longer, the Windows splash screen flashed on the screen and then the screen went blank again.
Any help would be most appreciated.
