:(
I have a problem whit my EP-6VBA2 mainboard.
I have downloaded the latest bios for it on epox.com, and now
after i flashed it,the computer boots to the screen where you see the DEL and the ALT F2 option then it just shut down and starts to boot again.
I only got the ALT F2 method to flash the bios so i tried
with the back up bios files but it only halts.
When i flash it again with the downloaded bios-files
where there no problem with the flash procedure
but the computer still boots as i explained above.

I tried to flash it with older bios version but it only gets
me the messege " The program file's part number does not match with your system ".
Its there in epox bios built in som kind of protection that stop me to flash early versions ?

I had tried Uniflash with negative results.
Please help me someone what should i do to fix it ?
Kind regards
