Have a system with an Asus F2A85-M motherboard. Was the guts of my HTPC, just put the A10-5700 that was in it into a ITX mobo and small cube case.
Am trying to reuse this board in another system with an A4-5300b. But I can't get it to go into the BIOS so I can set things up. Have tried the jumper, replaced the CMOS battery, removed the battery and moved the jumper, still can't get in.
Screen will show Asus splash screen, I press DEL, get the next screen showing info and saying press F1 to enter Setup. Press f1 and get a blank, black screen. Press Ctl-Alt-Del, get the Asus splash screen, but then when I press Del I don't get that next screen, just stays black.
Now if I put a Linux distro in the dvd drive, it'll load Linux fine, I put a Win 10 dvd in and it would let me start the install (I aborted it cause I can't get to the BIOS to set AHCI and turn stuff on/off).
Bad BIOS chip?
can't get to any select boot device screen (F12 doesn't work), to try to flash from USB.
