When I first start up each day, and only on the first time I start up, I get this message: Hardware Monitor found an error.Enter power setup menu for details. I do this and don't know if any thing is out of range. Where do I get the settings? Thanks.

Hi Robert,
I did visit the Asus website to download the manual of your motherboard. I did find something about the message, but it's not that much.
If you encounter the error, you should indeed go to the BIOS setup and look in the item 'Hardware Monitor'. (First go with right arrow to power in main menu and then go to Hardware Monitor in Submenu).
As far as I do understand (manual doesn't say much about the values), the listing in the hardware monitor are the temperatures probed in your system, the speed of the fans in your computer and the probed voltages. It's important that you check the probed temperatures and the probed voltages:
Can you post all values, you do find in the hardware monitor ?
