I can´t find any newer bios for my EP-8NPA SLI MBO

Check your RAM memory, it mai be from them, or the CPU most of the time. There are more than one thing that are not working whell, it depends on what kind of beepeng you hear and your BIOS. these are the codes for AMI BIOS:one shortDRAM refresh failure (Problem with memory)two shortParity circuit failurethree shortBase 64K RAM failurefour shortSystem Timer failurefive shortProcessor failuresix shortKeyboard Controller / Gate A20 failureseven shortVirtual Mode Exception erroreight shortDisplay Memory Read/Write failure (fault with video card)nine shortROM BIOS Checksum error (fault with BIOS chip)ten shortCMOS Shutdown Read/Write erroreleven shortCache memoryone longPassed (no errors)one long, two shortVideo failureone long, three shortBase / Extended Memory failureone long, eight shortDisplay / Retrace Test failure

I don't have access to a motherboard manual, (User Manual), for the Epox EP-8NPA SLI motherboard, Wayne. Sorry.
The only info I have is the basic info on the Specifications,

If this problem is in direct relation to the Front Panel header on the motherboard, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find the Power On switch connections.

(Plastic front of computer is the Front Panel.
Area of pins on the motherboard, that the wires from the Front Panel connect to, is the Front Panel header. { FP_1 )

Processor to the top, Ram Memory to the right, and the long white PCI slots to the bottom; the Front Panel header is the long black rectangular block of pins, at the very bottom right.

Pins go across the Top row, and across the Bottom row, of this rectangular block of pins.
Connections made will be from a pin on the top row, to a pin on the bottom row.

It only takes two contact pins for the Power On switch.
(The Power On switch is an ATX power on switch. It is located inside the plastic Power On button assembly.
Here is a basic example of an ATX power on switch,

http://www.directron.com/atxswitch.html )

Touch two pins (One top row, one bottom row), with an LED light.
Take the two wires of the LED light, and use them to touch the two contact pins.

Contact made is no longer than 2 seconds.

If you find the right two contact pins, the Power Supply should turn on.
If not, no harm, no foul.

For example, you have touched the two pins for the HarDDrive activity LED light.
Or pins for the Power On LED light.
You won't hurt anything using a small LED light for a jumper.

Once you find which contact pins turn the Power Supply on, therefore turning the computer on, you can experiment, and see what the other pins are for.

A) Power On LED light
B) HarDDrive activity LED light. and so on.

{ IF, the Power Supply does Not turn on, you have a bad Power Supply}

If this is not the problem simply state so in a Comment. We'll go on to see if we can find the solution.

Try installing another sound card

ur mother bios should support 1TB HDD, only then it ll get detected... u can update the bios of your motherboard with latest bios that is available for ur board in ASus support site...if you update the bios your hdd may get detected...

EPoX motherboard drivers
Click the link above and scroll the page down. It will download all drivers needed for your motherboard.
Should you have any quetions regarding this topic, feel free t update this post.

hello
you have installed wrong bios update
noting are to do now buy new motherboard

DON'T DO IT THIS BECAUSE YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR COMPUTER!!!!! IF YOU WANT AGAIN GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE THE COMPANY WHERE YOU BOUGHT YOUR COMPUTER!!! AND SEARCH YOUR MOTHERBOARD MODEL KT400-8235 AND IT HAS UPDATE OF YOUR PC!!!! ITHINK!!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING MORE ADD ME ON MY MSN: [email protected]

You can update your chipst nVIDIA nForce4 SLi.
This is not a easy task. It requires you to download the proper drivers. nForce will do this for you by checking your current system. Click this link to nForce:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Do not update your system by doing an install. You will have to remove the current nForce devices manually through device manager. (DO NOT restart your PC untill you have replaced the nForce drivers with updated nForce software).
If you do, you'll find your going to have to do a complete reinstall of windows & you will loose your current data.
Updating your ssocket 939 will run better. Your dual channel should post after update. It was a waste searching EPoX for faq's. Couldn't even download their/your manual. Please read recommended files to help with the update, these are worth every minute. (I learned the hard way).

Good Luck & Kind Regards.
& please vote.

If you know how to get into BIOS; restore BIOS to factory defaults and try the DDR RAM again.

if there is a spot on the MB, yes
