Any help is appreciated... My system goes like this:
8RDA+ (duh)
AMD Tbred-1700+ AIRGA (duh!)
was running 171 x 10.5 with 1.75v
512 MB 400 Mhz mem x 2 dual channel
ti4200 128 mb gforce 4
WD 8 Mb 120 GB HD
mouse... and keyboard...
What happened was last night, all of a sudden my computer won't pass prime95 for more than 20 minutes (was playing TFT and it crashed twice so I got suspicious). So I decided to up the voltage for the cpu (to 1.775) and test again because with exactly the same settings the computer passed prime95 for 12 hours. I just recently moved and the only other thing that might affect this is the quality of the electricity... but I didn't know what else could've gone wrong. After uping the voltage it still didn't help, so I check for the latest BIOS and came accross the 6/12/2003 one, along with a Magic Flash utility link at the bottom. With no 3.25" handy, I decided to use Magic Flash to flash the BIOS under Windows XP. Things looked fine, and the computer reboots... now the keyboard won't work. I can't go anywhere because it simply refuses to detect the keyboard. Can anyone give me some pointers? Thank you!
Even before this, my computer would randomly refuse to detect keyboard/mouse everytime I restart. But usually one out of two tries I'll get the keyboad and mouse to work, this time I tried about 10 times and no luck... keyboard never gets detected (thus I don't know if mouse is detected either). I am also getting this Checksum error - Defaults loaded message. I reset the BIOS jumper, turned the computer off, unplugged the power supply for about 8 hours and tried again this moring still no luck... did I break my 8RDA+?
