Ok so like a fool i went on the site and attempted to upgrade my bios, stupid stupid move! Basically it went through the entire process of installing/updating etc. WELL! When my lovely HP decided to reboot all hell broke loose lol. It currently won't show anything except for a screen that says 'r480 dvi dvi vivo bios br10048' which I think has something to do with my video card. Anyways, what are my options? Am I straight outta luck here?

I can't access a bios so I dont think I could even load a flash utility.

Ok so I pulled the video card and now i am at the screen that says:

Award Bootlock BIOS v1.0
BIOS ROM Checksum error

Detecting IDE ATAPI device......

Found CDROM, try to boot from it... Pass.

Disk boot filure, insert system disk and press enter.

That is where I am at now, this really sucks and I have a feeling that it's not going to be an easy fix. I have tried burning a data disc that has the award utility 8.6 I believe as well as flash v7.3 neither will load. Nor will a recovery or a disc with the OS.

Any suggestions or am I SOL?
