Relax... not everybody's up at 5:40 in the morning on a Saturday. And when you say you rebuilt your A8N-SLI, what exactly did you do?

Just a FYI... when you need to add an edit, just use the Edit button located in the lower RH corner of your posts. First, there's no such thing as BIOS drivers. Second, without knowing which driverset you installed or where you downloaded them from, the latest official nForce4 driverset v6.86 is available from nVidia here...

If you reformatted the drive and reinstalled the bios to a later version then you have no old files on it. Could be a million reasons why it's not working.

What makes you think you didn't install the nForce driverset correctly, or that you flashed the BIOS incorrectly?
