Well this morning... in a frantic rush for work. I checked my computer that I left running prime all night. It had stopped after 6 hours, @ 2350 @ 1.775. Oh well... so I was going to change the voltage and Mhz and then leave it burning in while at work.
I go into the bios, im really tired and I was about the change around the FSB and Multi when I though... crap I cant multiply in my head right now... So I decided to just drop the fsb 2mhz and shut it off. I did... I go to save.
Now whats weird is.. sometimes you get the Red Thing across your screen saying its saving and sometimes you dont. Well im really used to my old Mobo that doesnt have to do the saving thing "dont shutoff" screen, so as soon as I hit save and exit... and as soon and the screen went black I press and hold the power button. As im holding it... i look up to the monitor and see the "DO NOT SHUTOFF" thing... and I was like OH SH#$ as the computer turned off. I tried to turn it back on... it wont beep... no post... fans spin but no ones home. I do the cmos clearing just for fun thought I know its hopeless, it doesnt work.
Anyway... its a good thing ExcaliberPc, the ones who sell the bios recovery chips, is local to me. They wont let me pick one up though.. which is retarded... but I order one using UPS ground. The women said it would only take a day.
I always thought the people who screwed up their bios were idiots... well now ive joined the club.
