Faild bios upgrade

toucam · 12 Mar 2008 at 01:14

I was flashing my mobo P5W DH to the latest bios and it was incomplete, not sure because of the bios file or something wrong in the process of doing it. Rebooted and now the fan of my X1900 keeps spinning like crazy. I know there's a way for Asus mobo to recover from a failed bios flash but don't know how. Does anyone know how? My CPU is Q6600 G0.

Cheers.

Thanks for your replies, I will try it tonight and report back.

It doesn't even post at all so I think my chance of having CrashFree worked here is a bit slim

Look on the bright side I can hear Maximus Extreme is calling my name

I should have known better, never upgrade your bios in Windows!!!

Unfortunately the Alt F2 and CrashFree didn't work. I have ordered a Bios chip (Winbond) from the Internet will get it tomorrow and keep you guys posted. Looks very promising as the guy even told me the chip serials before I even opened my mouth. All for 12 quid

Wee, my mobo is saved

Just popped in the bios chip and all is well again. I'm so happy

I can highly recommend this guy and his service, absolutely fantastic.

Bookmark this now because you never know, someday you will need to give him a call

Definitely the best £12 I've ever spent.
