take everything off the motherboard
take the little battery out
wait 5 minutes
put the little battery back in
put one stick of ram in
nothing else (well ok put the proceessor in)
try to start it
add bits until it won't start then you'll know whats wrong
if it won't start at all switch the ram

i've been researching around the web and i noticed that Asus M2N-E mobos dont have bios right out of the box, how do i setup bios when i dont have one already? do i just do the same steps as updating bios?
