Title: GA-M57SLI-S4 (Rev. 2.0) serious issue...
Post by: sticky240 on August 20, 2010, 12:40:50 am

 I updated my bios from version FG to FH, and the system wouldn't boot up at all.  It wouldn't even detect my monitor.  There's also slight clicking sound coming from motherboard.  You can say the system is completely halted, and not slow boot up.  I tried taking out everything and even cmos battery, nothing.  I just sent a message to tech support.   I've read another thread about boot up slow, but it didn't at all.

I'm wondering if anyone experienced that before?

My system spec.:
GA-M57SLI-S4 (Rev. 2.0)
Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Pariot dual channe DDR2 800
EVGA Geforce 8800GTS
WD Black Caviar 640GB HD

Thanks in advance to all.  Helps and comments are appreciated.

Hi there,

not to sure what the problem is but I have had an issue on a PC I built where it seemed to die and I got a strange clicking sound. It turned out that the fault was with my Graphics Card.

When you start your PC are you getting any POST Beeps?
Can you try a different Graphics Card?

One more point springs to mind and that is are you absolutely sure that you flashed the BIOS with the correct update for your revision of board? :-\
