Works fine for me too! Are you SURE there isn't some setting that seems unimportant that's still changed? Or did you install or update anything else you forgot about?

Did you return your settings to default before flashing with the new bios?

......flashing when overclocked or not at default is just a dumb move. If you read bios flashing threads you will see all the people who lost there bios chips that way............

I disagree... I flashed my bios from 1010-1015 overclocked or not, got no problems, so i guess it wasnt a dumb move...

.......just because it worked for you doesn't mean its good advice for everyone. I suggest stuff like this because of all the dead mobos I see and its the proper way to flash. It's our responsibility to show the newcomers the right way not what we think is the right way.......By the way, the "dumb move" comment was not directed to you and I didn't mean to offend you ..........

BBThumper, just because it didnt worked for you doesn't mean its NOT a good advice for everyone... there are a lot of people having problems flashing with dos too. I guess its a matter of personal preference... and yes I know it wasnt directed to me, im just voicing out, its not only me that had success using liveupdate.
