Unfortunately, that's the only PSU I currently have here that would even fit in the chassis, my main PC uses a 660W (I think) Thermaltake Blue_EVO which is larger than the Project 98's chassis (and I don't want to murder my most powerful machine for an experiment) and even though I think it has more pins than the ATX socket in the Asus A8V-XE... thus I cannot test the mobo with another power supply...
The PSU is fine, the hardrives boot up just fine, I hear them spinning by the way... it says it is 220V on the back and I have no idea what model it is (the label inside is quite off from its age), but enough for a Windows 98/XP vintage retrogaming computer, no ?
I just tried what Chinny said, but apparently it did nothing :\
I'll now post some screenshots of the BIOS
Primary IDE Master and Slave are both "None", while BOTH should be detecting an hardisk since I have two hardrives in there, no ?
I switched them to "None", rebooted and tried "Auto" again, but nothing happened.
What is the deal with "Manual" ???
I also noticed that today it takes a while to get into the BIOS setup... it gets there instantly when I set those things to "None" and it always got in there instantly every other day, but today it waits at least 2 minutes before going in the BIOS setup... weird and creepy... plus that's my LAST motherboard which can handle Windows 98, so we MUST fix it 😢 😢
