hi all...
so here's the situation. (p4 2.4GHz, ASUS P4PE MOBO)
the outlet my computer is connected to was shut suddenly shut down and on again while my computer was on. i am connected to a power surge.
upon restart, the bios hardware monitor gives an error msg
"Hardware Monitor found an error. Enter Power setup menu for details"
so i go into Hardware Monitor and notice that 2 things are in red:
CPU fan speed = is 0
Chassis Fan Speed = 958 RPM
now, my fan is clearly going so thats not right.
at this point i suspect the Power supply, but all voltages in the Voltage monitors read correctly:
3.34V, 5.02V, 11.96/12.03 V. moreover, i hear and see that my cd rom are working.
so, i go ahead and tell bios to IGNORE the 2 FAN speed errors and only then my bios continues on.
instead of a windows OS startup screen, i get "PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT"
when trying to boot from cd-rom i get,
"NO EMULATION, COULDN'T FIND NTLDR"
so im not sure what the problem is, is the very initial problem that my bios though my fan speed = 0?
if so why? is it powersupply? motherboard?
i thought a power surge protector was suppose to prevent this.
if anyone has any idea, PLEASE let me know,
thanks
