Major BIOS problems
11/02/2011
This review is from: ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS
Pros:
Lots of nice leds and switches. However, they don't do a lot of good if the board doesn't go into BIOS mode.
Cons:
My ASUS Crosshair IV motherboard died, so I purchased a new ASUS CrossHair V motherboard from NewEgg. The self-test passed. However, there was no video. The BIOS did not display. I RMAed the motherboard and installed the second CrossHair V. I also purchased a new 1100T CPU and Corsair 850 power supply from NewEgg which I also installed. Still no video. I installed the same model of Corsair DDR3 memory and a different ATI video card from another computer. Still no video.
I found that if I pressed the internal memory check GO button, the memory would test fine and BIOS screen would display. However, after saving BIOS setting and rebooting, no video. It looks like a serious BIOS problem.
Overall Review:
My computer hasn't worked for 2 weeks while waiting for parts and I've spent hundreds of dollars on new computer components which weren't bad and had hours of frustration.
After all of this hassle, I will be replacing this with a NON-ASUS motherboard.
