Title: BIOS Update Error
Post by: Alucard Tepes on October 21, 2005, 03:58:24 PM

 ???


I updated my BIOS and now it will not boot AT ALL. The Screen Stays Blank and it laughs in my face as I sit there and wonder why.

Is there anyway to roll it back or get it working without replacing the CMOS chip?

I'm sure it's a boot disk but there's no display, and it doesn't short beep like it should.

I know I'm talking about the disk that came with the mobo, might be a boot disk, in which case it doesn't matter casue I won't be able to see what the *censored* I'm doing.


It's a tower.

And what is a re-flash site?

Just out of curiosity why were you flashing the BIOS? Was it because you were having problems, or just that there was an update and you wanted to load it? Was it from the official site?
