advice please:bios flash failure on msi 875p neo board
i recently attempted to flash the bios to the latest version on the above board,unfortunately even though i thought id disabled antivirus & firewall,the process was halted halfway through & i got a norton antivirus warning screen appear. the system froze & that was that,couldnt clear the bios or force an update using floppy. followed advice from msi website,but no luck,got 4 beeps after forcing update,which is supposed to signal successful update but system still just sat there,no display & trying to read from floppy drive every 30 seconds or so. i understand that i can send the bios chip away & get it reprogrammed,in fact i think there is a link on msi website. the problem is the bios chip is soldered on to the mobo which,considering its fairly new & was quite expensive is to say the least annoying! does anybody have any suggestions please? many thanks, terry. terry larman wrote:
