Have I finally killed my motherboard?
Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2004 1:36 am
Earlier in the week I attempted to flash my bios as my new DVD writer was not working but this failed miserably due to me trying to use a crappy windows flashing tool.
Managed to re-flash the Bios using Uniflash and then tried to correctly update the bios using the reccommended Gigabyte flash554.exe tool. This looked to have worked but now when I try to bott the PC the monitor switches itself off staright away and the CD drive just flashes at me. I am not hearing any beeps at all. I have tried to reflash using Uniflash but the floppy is not being read.
I have also tried to reset the CMOS by use of jumpers but this has done nothing.
Have I now killed the motherboard or does anyone have any advise on how I can recover it?
Many thanks, Ian
