Replace P with C and you're motherboard will explode.

NO seriously, why did you update your BIOS in the first place? If you don't need to do it, don't do it.

you've prolly fried your bios

try resetting cmos, check your motherboard manual to see how

bios isn't stored on the cmos battery, lol :D

could be a tryout, though.

and all the time I thought bios was in the battery and not in the chip :<

nah mate .. the settings are saved on the battery .. like the time, date, your cpu, pci, periphery settings. are all stored on that battery. the bios itself is on a eprom.

ok, it's too late now and I can't figure out are you being sarcastic or serious

kuraigu 17 May 2008, 01:07

I think I have, being so close to becoming an engineer in computer and communications technology I should've heard about it at least once, that's why I asked were you being sarcastic about settings being stored in the bios battery

try and clear cmos, if that doesn't work get some new (pre-flashed) bios chip or do a hot swap flash.

I had a similair issue, was updating something and when I rebooted (well actually, bluescreened) My hard drive had faulted - something to do with the set table not restting (I havent a clue though tbh =p) booted off another HD fine. worth a try imo.

If your PC isnt even starting up, then maybe its your PSU.

CMOS clear, if that doesn´t help your bios is broken...

Take out the bios-eeprom and get your bios-file on a disk, take both to an oldschool computer shop, they often have eeprom-writers and it´s a matter of 2 minutes...
