Thanks Rainbow, but now I have a problem I followed tha instructions to flash the BIOS but in the midst of flashing the computer froze, I waited for about 2hrs and nothing happened.
So I think I made a mistake by powering down the computer. Now I cant get into tha memory check or BIOS setup and no video but the floppy drive is can being still read at the beginnning as well as the CD-ROM.....
....so have I lost the use of the motherboard.....I did happen to save the old BIOS called OLDBIOS.BIN so can it be saved or do I chaulk this up as another lost... sorry for the long post
Any help thanks

If you have ISA VGA card, insert it there and connect a monitor - you should see Award BootBlock BIOS.
Create a DOS/Win9x bootable floppy (with no HIMEM.SYS and no EMM386.EXE). Put the BIOS there (new one or the old one) and flash utility (if awdflash froze before, try UniFlash now). It should boot from the floppy. Keyboard should work - so run uniflash and flash the BIOS including bootblock (from advanced menu). If keyboard does not work, create autoexec.bat file on the floppy with this inside (replace bios.bin with the name of your BIOS file):
uniflash -e bios.bin
