Right after our very successful launch of NF7-S v1.2, we were immediately alerted by very high ratios of users requesting and ordering replacement BIOS for their newly purchased v1.2.
Through our very extensive and laborious research and investigation, we have come to a very solid and alarming conclusion that:
There is a basic architectural loophole in nVidia’s implementation of nForce2 chipset to handle BIOS update. Due to the nature design of nForce2 chipset, complex instructions will be written into nVidia Northbridge. However, its CMOS space is rather limited which has resulted in a high potential risk to save data back into BIOS chip improperly. Whenever there is an increased numbers of BIOS/CMOS saving actions taking place, data loss may just occurs. The symptom is very clear that you would get stuck right on the spot, and not able to boot up your system again.
