I just finished my first build yesterday. Despite the issues I've read about with this MB, it worked perfectly. Today I used ASUS' Windows-based update utility to update the BIOS from 0212 to 0313. Everything seemed to go just fine. The program flashed the BIOS and it checked out. It then gave me a dialog stating that the computer must be restarted. I clicked 'yes' and that was the end of my new computer.
I'm not sure what happened. I only get a blank screen, it will not POST, will not recognize the USB keyboard (although the cordless mouse's receiver is working) and it wont recognize the floppy drive. All of the fans are running, the graphics card has power and all of the drive lights(except for the floppy) come on when the power is turned on. I just got off the phone with ASUS' tech support and they told me I either have to RMA the MB or buy a new BIOS chip. While I don't doubt that they know what they are doing, I am hoping that someone here has had this happened and fixed it themselves.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
