Well guys

I have had no occurence of cutting out since fitting the new PSU.

Also overcome the BIOS flashing issue.

I disconnected all drives except the IDE boot drive and floppy and flashed, and it updated.
I had to re-set some of the CMOS settings but it took it and booted up Ok.

The Dual BIOS on the mainboard is a great feature. The ability to fall back to the original if things don't go quite to plan alleviates some of the fear I had with "tinkering" with it.

Anyway once I was confident the updated BIOS was going to stick, I re-connected all drives set the CMOS, and wizzo the pc was singin' and dancin' again.

After a few days and nothing adverse having happened I gathered courage and flashed the backup BIOS to the new update.

Cheers guys

Billy
