I decided to switch on my Asus K8vX SE and this is the result? I have tried another two other power suplies these were bought in the last 18 months also tried two lots of memory and video cards and nothin changes in that all I get is either the Asus logo or this load of unkown errors! Any advice on this problem would be much apreciated.

If I remember correctly the Bios is socketed. My guess is either bad contact of the bios chip or a fried chip..
Yeah try disconnecting PSU and then pull the bios chip carefully (there are special PLCC tools to do this easily) and then check the socket. Reinsert eeprom and see what happens.
Possible it has gone bad, they do not last forever....other possibilities are bad caps on the board causing major instability....

Thanks to both Nvm1 and Horun for your responce
I did what you sugested and I removed the bios chip and carefully cleaned the contacts and on reboot all seemed good but having started a fresh install of XP around two thirds the way through it decided to show a BSOD with a warning that this was happening to protect the hardware?
I'm thinking of replacing the capacitors but I'm not sure which make to use?
Thanks again

I think 000007E is memory or HD related (bad memory or bad sector on HD or --- trying to use AHCI in BIOS which XP natively does not like, must use SATA or IDE mode)

Check your BIOS settings first, then run Memtest and see what it says.
