| corrupt BIOS recovery I got warranty for my dead A7N8X-Deluxe, I'm pretty sure it was the BIOS. OK, i've got a new one but this board sux and I lost a lot of time/money to get warranty for the board I've tried to recover it with a BIOS on a floppy, but it didn't work. guess what I found today: "Now, go back to your dead system, and REMOVE the video card. This will trigger what's left of the bios to scan the floppy drive. Insert the floppy, and turn on the system. Your mobo will then scan the floppy disk for the autoexec.bat and restore to the bios that was copied to the floppy. The transfer will probably take a few minutes, after which the motherboard will make several high pitched beeps, prompting you to power off the system. Replace the videocard, and if your system powers up with video, you were successful!!! " did you know that you have to remove the videocard? :/ http://www3.telus.net/agentsmith/articles/article1.html |
