im gonna start off with the system specs first i guess.
Giga-byte GA-7DXR
1.33 athlon that was swapped out for a xp2000+
radeon 9000pro 128megger
40gb hd
blah blah blah
ok, this morning, at around 3, i found out, after i swapped out the old cpu with the one i got from my bud, that Giga-byte has released a few new BIOSs to handle the newer and faster chips. so i decided a flash is a must.
I started by downloading the files i needed, was gonna use the most current version, F10, and then downloaded their windows BIOS flasher, @BioS or whatever.
Now, I like windows BIOS flashers. i have never had any problems, with either my moms comp, from which im typing now, to my 2 MSI mobos, and even my Shuttle. they all worked fine.
until about 3:30 this morning.
i did what the instructions said to do on the flash program, and it said i must reboot, so i did.
now it wont turn on half the time. tried clearing the CMOS, that didnt do anything. the other half of the time, it finds a "CMOS Checksum error", and makes me press F1 to load CMOS defaults. it will them boot up to the little white loading bar at the start of XP, then it "restarts" itself, and the screen goes dead.
i really need help on this one.
