Me and a mate put together a system last night using one of the new(ish) ASUS A7V333 boards with 512 MB DDR2700 and an Athlon XP 2000+. Trouble is, when we booted it for the first time, it went straight to CMOS setup and the screen is all corrupted - various numbers,letters and other characters all over the screen make it unreadable - although you can still move about within the screens and from page to page, but its the same on every page.
Am I right in thinking that the mobo is screwed, maybe a faulty BIOS chip ? Any help is appreciated cos I'm gonna have to take it back to the shop we got the bits from, and I wanna be armed with as much info as possible bacause they are renowned around here for fobbing customers off.
