Here's what I see when I power on: (note that I see a new ver now, obviously cuz of the flashing) Award Modular BIOS v.4.51PG Asus P2L-B ACPI BIOS Revision 1010 Beta 004 at the bottom 08/02/01-i440LX-<P2L-B> Maybe the flash wasn't intend for this MB.

It'S no good, I'll prolly have to make the BIOS chip re-programmed by a technician. Same thing, it boots , does the memory test and hang up at : Award plug and Play BIOS Extension V.10A CDROM drive spins and stop after, like 10 sec. Same thing with IDE LED but much longer (around 20sec) Tried discon...

I thought about it but there is no jumper and on page 15, they tell to short the solder points, I will try with a screwdriver. I tried this trick @ http://www.hardwaresite.net/faqbios.html by removing the non-working bios chip and trying to flash it with another working puter but it didn't work cuz ...

Get stuck right after the memory test.

It says 80gb instead of 80000mb but the BIOS booted smooth. Also I'...

You've seen this prob a thousand times and I got it too. Ive just bought a brand new 80gigs Seagate Barracuda 7200 HD (model ST380011A) My BIOS can't detect (hangs at startup). Tried to detect it manually into BIOS (it freeze) - AUTO mode and LBA doesn't work. Ive tried a "useless" program discwizar...
