Hi All -

I can't get my barebones Tyan GS12 to boot into BIOS.

This system has Phoenix 1.05 BIOS. I connected a monitor, PS/2 keyboard
(via USB-to-PS/2 adapter) and USB mouse and turned the machine on...
The GS12 LCD display says:

PhoenixBIOS 1.05
H/W Initialize

and then after about 30 seconds the GS12 shuts off. Nothing shows up on
the monitor. I hit F2 a few times but still nothing happens. Monitor is
appears to be correctly connected - because it does "blink" briefly
when I push the yellow ON button on the GS12.

Installed hardware:

- CPU: Intel P4 "Northwood" 2.8GHz, 512K L2, 533MHz FSB
- RAM: 2 x OCZ 1024MB, DDR400, PC3200, ECC Reg, 400MHZ
- HDs: 2 x Western Digital SATA 250GB 8MB Cache

Does anyone has any ideas how to get into the BIOS on this Tyan GS12?

Thanks,
Scott
