BIOS f*cked up ?
 

Since this morning I have problemps with my computer, it won,'t boot :( . It can post, but after that, only the flat line blinking on my screen (it normaly should load the SATA bios then).
I also can't acces the BIOS, again, the flat line blinking on the screen (first somewhere in the middle, than a bit lower and the on top) and my printer (Deskjet 670C parallel) start taking paper and spitting it out again :D .
I'm going to try to flash it later (afraid of doing a CMOS clear :S ).

Ow, my specs:
Abit NF7-s v2.0
AMD AthlonXP 2500+
2*256Mb DDR400 Twinmos
Sapphire R9600 PRO

Flashed my BIOS and now it's working. Still don't know what caused this :shrug: . MBM log, window log nor folding log shows anything weird (had set it to shut down automaticly @ 8am ).

nForce motherboard are known for having the occasional BIOS failure problem.. don't ask me why.. they just do :(

First time I had it, was kinda creepy :rolleyes: . Man, the tought of waiting weeks for a new mobo (bought it in germany), working on a slow K6-2 with way to less memory :( .

you can just order a new BIOSchip from Abit for €20 :)

damn, my brother had the same prob with his a7n8x-e dlx yesterday, but i flashed it and didn't work. still doing weird and it can't boot without diskette drive :|

i got it for free

just went to my local HW store, and the next day i got a new bios chip, but i had to return the old one

You're not going yo believe this, he did it again :grum: . If that happens again, I'll have to order another chip :(
