Built new computer, using ASUS A7N266-E mother board & Win2000. On start up BIOS screen flashes on and off but screen remains steady after start up is complete? Manual doesn't cover problem. Need Help. Thanks

Is the BIOS setting screen displaying at boot?

The "normal" boot sequence for a motherboard is;

Display Video card BIOS splash screen.
Display mother board P.O.S.T. screen.
Display drive detection.
Display P.O.S.T. results.
Load OS.
The screen may alternate between the Windows Startup splash screen and the last boot screen as drivers load.

If this is what you are seeing, it just may be happening at a different rate than what you are used to.

I haven't setup any systems with theNvidia chipset yet, so I don't have any first hand experiance of anything they may do differently than the AMD and VIA chipsets I have used.
