Hi,
I have read some of the related threads on good flashes and no booting. I just flashed this soltek SL-65FV+ with a P3 667MHz cpu. The flash was ok and I restarted by pressing the required key. After re-start the pc hung after the memory test. No key from keyboard worked so I had to re-start. After that the pc will not switch on the monitor (amber light on monitor). I removed the memory and I got the beeps ok. I removed the vga (agp) but got nothing. I suspect the flash was not completely ok. I found a thread saying I can kickstart the recovery boot by shorting 2 pins. The bios chip is EON EN29F002NT. Which pins are these? A15 and A16? I already prepared a bootdisk with Uniflash and the original bios that I had saved before flashing. :x

The bios flash was not all bad because it tried once to boot after the flash.
Maybe the new bios version has different settings and does not like the old ones. Did you already try reset CMOS?
