Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard Issue

[philipwk]

I have the Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, RADEON 9600SE [R96S128D Graphics Accelerator card.
When I hit the start button sometimes [50%] the system will fire-up with one "beep" then agitate the "A" Drive tray and start windows OK.
Other timed Hit the start button the system has NO sounds and the display does not receive any message thus NO screen only thing I can do is push the reset button then maybe it will start up ok [maybe not too].
It seams to care if there is something plugged in to a USB port or not.
I really have no idea where to start, can you help?
I have reset the video board and RAM cards.

Basically this issue is related to the BIOS update or firmware. You need to upgrade your BIOS firmware and it can be done by flashing the BIOS and then installing the firmware with the latest upgrade suitable for your Motherboard. This shall help.
