| 731464 | 2008-12-22 08:41:00 | It's probably stuffed. I killed my ASUS P5B-VM motherboard trying to update the BIOS using the ASUS supplied Windows BIOS update utility a while back. Stupid Windows XP stopped the system with a blue screen error about half way through the update "to protect my system" :mad: Even using the EZ Flash update utility in the BIOS itself isn't guaranteed to work it seems. Thankfully, in my case, the board was replaced under warranty. | Rod J (451) | ||
