I needed to enable the NX bit on my CPU but I could not find it anywhere in the BIOS on my m5a97 mobo. I realized the option was probably missing because I was not running the latest BIOS version. I had 0705 and there were ROM files available for 0810, 0901, 1102, 1208, 1503, and 1605.
I download the latest version 1605 and put it on a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive. Then I ran Asus EZ flash utility and selected the ROM file. I had a successful update and it said it will reset the computer and I hit ok. The computer restarts and now does not post.
I tried to reset the CMOS but this didn't work. Did this damn utility just fry my mobo? That would be a terrible pain. Please advice.
