  1. Replaced old ecs mobo with the asus and it proceeds thru standard boot up, including making bios changes to the "insert CD" prompt. When this is done I get a message that its checking hardware. After that -- nothing just a blank screen. CPU "duron" 1.3 GB, 40 GB HDD, @ CD_ROMs, Floppy, 512 MB RAM 1 Stick, And TNT2 AGP card is all that are connected. Can someone help me??

    :) Thanks..I eventually came up with the same answer and ASUS confirmed it, It was something I was reluctant to do. After much finagaling around I finally found myself forced to do the complete reinstall . Everything worked except the Norton 2005 software in their file which has a bug in it that kept giving me blank pages on the internet. :jose211
