Laptop Help..

by stormeh • 2 Apr 2008, 16:36 • Journals
Hai, i need some help please.

When i try to load my laptop it just refuses to move past the boot screen (black screen with asus in the background with f2: enter setup and esc:popup menu in the bottom left corner)

Tried pressing f2/esc and get a message saying..

"Auto-detecting USB Mass Storage Devices ..
00 USB mass storage devices found and configured. "

Any ideas?

Edit: Can't get into my bios settings or find out how to reset them, help would be appreciated <3

Remove all USB devices and then restart, if this fails then go into bios and turn of caching and shadowing.

Wouldn't be any programs or that but definately OC could do this :), before doing any hardware changes join on the forum that has technical support, then ask them about your problem hopefully they will be helpful :), ABIT was with my old motherboard which had the same problem as yours, it was because of my mobo and USB, so I updated my mobo and it worked fine.

Hopefully it is only a small problem, I have my fingers crossed for you :P.

PM me or reply to here when they reply back to you.
