black screen after flashing bios

Postby pacmanpc » Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:50 pm

Hi i have just flashed the bios on my Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 m/b with bios F11 it seemed to go fine. I used the bootable cd method of doing it but when the pc rebooted all i get is a black screen with a cursor flashing in the top left. it starts the normal post process but does nothing after listing the devices.
I try to get into the cmos by hitting delete when it boots and it says entering setup but it just goes to the same black screen. If i hit the END key to go into q/flash all that comes up is a box saying POST ERROR and tells me i need to select a profile either default or last success. Both take me to the black screen again.
I have tried removing the battery for a hour or so as well as shorting the cmos clear pins to no avail.

Edit looks like i may have updated with bios for revision 1.1 of the board when mine is 1.0

Any help on this would be appreciated
thanks

email Gigabyte tech support, they should have put in some sort of failsafe, preventing you from flashing the bios for the wrong board...
