specs:
asrock p67 pro3
core i5 2500k
corsair vengeance 4GB (x2)
geforce gts 250
just bought the p67 pro3, and i can't get to post. dr. debug is showing code A3. all the manual says about this code is: IDE enable. doesn't make sense, seeing as there are no IDE connectors on my mobo. this is the screen i get when i turn the power on:
pressing f1 takes me here:
where nothing happens (save for the blinking cursor) until i reset, or power down. if choose this option, my computer comes straight to this screen every time i turn it on. i have to reset cmos to get the original screen back.
pressing f2 takes me here:
and if i move the cursor, i get this:
the more i move, the more screen is revealed. selecting "boot default" takes me back to the blank screen and blinking cursor, while selecting "configuration" takes me to what i assume would be bios setup. it's the same situation there, though. totally blank screen until i start moving the cursor, except you can't actually click on any of the menu options. and they're laid out wrong. like.. there's icons on top of other icons. i would post pics, but when i go into this screen now, i can't move the cursor anymore. strange.
also, i'm not completely sure if i'm resetting the cmos right. this is my first build, and i've never had to do this before :/ the manual gives instructions for using the jumper to reset, but no real instructions on using the button. you just.. push it, right?
thanks!
