Hello...


I own a hcl beanstalk media center pc. Recently i bought a new graphic
card a GF 6600 GT and i started to experience some problems such as dr
watson I reinstalled the OS and changed the drivers. Nothing worked .
So i decided to flash the BIOS. I got the latest BIOS from the ASUS
website( my Motherboard is ASUS P4S800-MX /s) and used ASUS EZ flash
to flash it.. Everything during the flashing went well and it said it
was succesfull. But when i rebooted I got a message saying that my
bios was corrupted and i had to insert my support cd. I did that and
it tried to recover my BIOS .After erasing the BIOS while flashing ..
it suddenly said that there was a data compare failure and it stopped.
So i have no BIOS right now.. I tried even older BIOS versions but the
same problem occurs( Data compare failure). I used the aflash utility
but still nothing works.. I double checked whether i had the correct
bios each time and everything was correct but it just didnt work. Is
there any solution to my problem or do i have to just get another
Motherboard..? Please help.

One more thing.. The readme file for the aflash utility says the 2nd
option is Update BIOS including boot block and ESCD but when i use
aflash the 2nd option is Update BIOS without boot block and ESCD. The
error message on my screen is BIOS ROM CHECKSUM ERROR.

Please help.. what do i do..?
