How would I do this as I can't even get into the BIOS now?
I will go through the manual again and check this. I will also try and reset it to factory settings and see if this will help.
It's funny how all seemed well (BIOS coming up and allowing a clean shut down) until I had to restart.
Yes by clearing the cmos settings you can go to default.
AS mentioned look at the motherboard manual.
On the bottom right of the mb is a jumper reset. The jumper is in pins one and two .
You need to unplug the computer. Pull out the cmos battery.
Move the jumpers to pins two and three for ten seconds.
Move back jumper to pins one and two and then install the battery again.
Plug back in computer , make sure monitor is connected, start up, look for the splash screen to come on monitor.

Also the red light on the motherboard, its it one if the diagnostic led's ?
Check the mb manual because the asus mb have a built in led diagnostic system
Into the board, and if one remains lit you check the manual to see what section of the board is having the problems.

Sam I'm sure you've checked most of what I'm going to say but, maybe not.
Lastly the video card/s, I'd start with only 1 card and install IT in the x16 (speed) slot. I believe you have (1) slot that runs @ x16 (1) @x8 and (1) @x4 speed.
I never try to predict market direction, but I believe if you made those three changes in your BIOS on the initial start-up, resetting your CMOS will probably allow you to get back to square one and straighten things out.
You weren't drinking when you did this were you :eek: ?
I agree, this should be first to create a starting point.
Did you "plug" your HDD into the turbo socket? I don't think that's necessary if your not into OCing same for the Anti-surge, this can come later. I'd connect to SATA 3.0 6gig socket #1 to start.
And, in what slots do you have it installed in? Some MB manufacturers use the DIMM slots closest to the CPU as the primary slots, others use the slots further away to compensate for the use of HUGE cpu coolers on MBs used mainly by OCers, Dual channel memory needs pairs in certain slots like A1&A2 or B1&B2. Read your manual carefully for the proper recommendations. I believe it takes more than one boot-up for the cpu to initialize the speed settings of the memory.

Why do I get a feeling
Went Fishing been doing this a long time and knows just a little more than he wants you to think he does
Great informative posts from everyone

Sam,
Here is a diagram of the onboard led's for the Asus p8p67 pro. Probably similar to your board. If these led's remain lit it will highlight the area with trouble.
A good working board will have a green system good light, these led's are red. At least on this model.
