1xxx-in-1 Help Needed!! ( Can't boot to game screen)
Larrabee:
Again, shot a video of the current state with switches 1 and 4 on. Detailed look at hook ups, etc. Thank you again so much for your help.
BobA:
Hopefully someone who has one of these boards can comment. It sounds like it is not booting properly and if you cannot select a working video maybe it is fubar.
lilshawn:
can we just hook this up to a computer monitor and see if something is actually booting instead of relying on the monitor in the cab.
i would throw a keyboard on the computer and try to enter the BOIS setup. see if the board is posting. likely they have no speaker attached to the mobo, so you would never know.
if you could find the header for a speaker i'd check to see if your getting any POST beep. You may have a ram stick that has worked loose or something...
Larrabee:
It is hooked up to a VGA monitor.
Now when I boot it just gets to what seems to be the board screen which says:
"Verifying DMI Pool Data....
To Start System Genius program, press F10"
Then the blank, black screen.
Hooked up a USB Keyboard but hitting F10 isn't getting me into the genius program.
lilshawn:
DMI or Desktop Management Interface is a layer between system components and the software that manages them. The System Management BIOS is an extension of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) that formulates and delivers this information to the operating system. The pool data is the information. In short, when the BIOS is "Verifying DMI pool data" it is verifying the table of data it sends to the operating system (Windows, etc.). If it isn't sucessful, it should return an error. Wait a reasonable period of time for it to finish. It may make take some time or it may be stuck.
1 - what about DEL or f2... (common bios entering keys) get into the bios try and enable a feature called enable "Reset Configuration Data" (may be "Force Update ESCD" in some CMOS Setuups) in the motherboard CMOS Setup PNP/PCI configuration. (Rebooting will automatically disable it after it has done its thing.)
2 - the CMOS my have gotten corrupted, clear it.
3 - some piece of hardware has come loose, be sure everything is plugged in, in fact.... if it's plugged in - unplug it and plug it back in again.
