It also has a DigiGram audio card that has balanced in outs as well as

of the costs of updating all of those.

Have you tried removing both those cards, and shorting the 'reset cmos'
pins, then trying to boot it again with minimal hardware ?.

It's totally stripped down. Only the main SSD and the video card (for
DVI)
in place. And I've tried the video card in another machine - it's OK.

I'll try and find out how to reset the CMOS. No idea where the manual
is -
I might have to Google.


My Gigabyte M/B puts the CLR_CMOS pins next to one of the
PCIe slots. It is helpfully marked in big white capitals
CLR CMOS !!.

It is just a pair of pins with 0.1 spacing and no header
(obviously).Â* You have to power the PC off and unplug it
before shorting the pins, so you might look for a lone
pair of pins and just short them together for a few seconds.

Since you must do this with the power off, short out all
lone pairs of pins.

My Manual says :-

"Use this jumper to clear the CMS values (eg date info
*and* BIOS configurations) and reset to factory defaults.
To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper on the two pins
or use a metal object like a screwdriver for a few seconds

After restart, goto BIOS setup to loadÂ* factory defaults"




googling shows an ASUS FAQ where the 2 pins are marked CLRTC
and not CLR_CMOS as Gigabyte uses. It's at the bottom right
of the board, next to another row of headers.
