How to handle a burning PC

Published on February 01, 2005

When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout."

I just stuck a computer together,

Asus P5Q Pro Mobo
4Gigs of Ram
WD 640 GB hard drive
850W PSU
Antec 900 Case
4870X2 Video card


My problem is this, I installed vista onto it, and then the computer won't go into bios or boot up, it simply says Chassis Intruded, System Halted. Now, I reset the Jumper Pins, And I reset The CMOS, and guess what... It still says it :( Any Suggestions?

Hey I read about that problem once....

"There are Chassis Intrusion pins on the Mobo and a small jumper is placed over them. This controls whether the Chassis intrusion is active or not.

Check and make sure the jumper is on the correct pins and that it is fully seated down.

Also then do a hard clear of the CMOS. Set the cmos jumper on clear and remove the CR2032 battery for 10 minutes (600 seconds) and then reverse the process.

Now bootup."

Yup, that should fix it. I'm surprised that is enabled by default. You should be able to kill it once you get into BIOS, of course at that point it won't matter.

thanks for the replies guys, but in my original post I said I did that :(

Thankfully, I don't know how, or why but I got frustrated, ate a corn dog, came back and everything is working. so yeah.... hooray!

My only problem now, is my Audio isn't working, even after I installed the drivers, grrrr

Um.... I saw posts about that combination of problems as well, actually. Described just that way. First chassis intrusion then sound.

Is your BIOS updated to the most recent?

I'm surprised the system works at all, considering you didn't include a CPU in your description..
