Hello, this is the problem I'm having. i built my desktop from scratch about 2-3yrs ago. and I've never have had any issues with it. my niece was the last one to use it when i was at work. and the previous day i helped her with a report using Microsoft word. everything worked fine. the following day turned it on and wouldn't get passed boot screen "Asus P5N-E SLI / >press enter Setup/tab display bios port message"... well keyboard PS/2 seemed to be burnt out. so i thought. now i have no idea what to do b/c the keyboard i tossed, bought a new one, but it was usb. i added an adapter to the usb with a PS/2 end to plug in and nothing. what do i do now????

Hi bart, please re-check you're memory. See page 1-17 in you're user manual. (Read everything)!
You're Asus board can not use 184-pin DDR DIMM's.
Also check the QVL list for supported memory page's 1-18 & 1-19.
I did not see Corsair on either page.
You're board can only use 240-pin DDR2 memory. Please read the "Notes" at the top of page 1-18.
If everything (Regarding memory) is within the Asus specifications than clear the cmos/bios & re-boot again. If you're system still does not boot than remove one DIMM & try again.
Asus warrants their boards for three years. Call Asus tech at
1-812-282-2787 EST, IL 8:00AM to 5:00PM. The call is on you but the service is free. It's worth every dime.

Good Luck & Kind Regards.
Would you be kind enough to let me know what Asus suggested? (If it comes to that).

Mike

this site is useless. get the links straight!

SOURCE: i have a p5n sli motherboard which refuses to boot

Go to page 2-30 section 2.4.5 in your manual.
If you are using the onboard graphics for your display set this to [PCI]. If you are using the PCI-E video card, set the bios to [PCI-E]. Save & exit the bios. You should have display after the system re-boots. If you still have no display & you are 100% sure your monitor functions than the video controller on the board is bad. This can not be repaired.

Good luck!
Mike

SOURCE: Can a p5n-e sli handle a single 9800gtx? I

Yes as long as the 9800gtx is PCI Express x16. I am assuming the p5n-e is the Asus MB. Since I couldn't find any other Manufacturer using that MB#

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. All pcie 2.0 are *supposed* to be backwards compatible with x16. We shall see."

You can download the drivers here:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

In the upper left hand corner of the screen, type in the model number of the board (P5N-E SLI) and use the drop down to select a category (probably "All"). Good luck.
