Cable Forum - View Single Post - Upgraded motherboard bios

I had a bad flash using the windows flash utility.
While the comp is working, download and copy to either cd and\or flash drive the bios. Rename the bios to (in my case) p5b.rom yours would be xxx.rom.
Using the BIOS option to flash the mobo with either device.

I had to drop the BIOS onto a cd and get my system back up that way.

Alternitivly Zings comments are worth trying.

Also you could go to Asus forums and see if anyone else with the same board has had the same\simular problems and what there fix was.

What board do you have?
