asus m3a problem
He did it using asus ezflash 2 which is NOT and oc based flash utility. anyway his old bios was whipped off and then the new bios began flashing it got through two bars on the screen then according to him it froze. My question is can we still salvage it? I know the board supports crash free bios 3, which according to Asus is supposed to let you flash from a thumb drive if you have a corrupt bios on the board. i have only had this happened to me once on an old board and i lucked out because it was a dual bios board so i just did a fkash back and oompa back in business but his only has one

i cannot remember the exact message, something about no valid flash drive or cd-rom. i discovered the board's cd-rom had the crash-free utility and origional bios on it.... popped it an and away it went. where ever it resides, i don't know, but i would imagine it would be the same as your flashing utility. you obviously can't flash the bios from inside the bios... so, where ever that is. |

Thanks for the information MooSteve. The mother board in question is my brothers. I know Sparky personally (we live near each other) So he made this post for us.
RaVeN my brother, bought an MSI board and I gave him a tri core I purchased from our FS add. Upgrading from a 9950BE, He is happier. I'll give the CD thing a try if I can find enough parts to complete a system and see if that CD thing works. Thanks bunches Steve! |
