    No POST after failed BIOS flash

    After having some issues with the 1302 bios, I decided to revert to 1011.006. Using the newest version of AsusUpdate (their Windows BIOS flash utility), it managed to erase the EEPROM, get 80-90% of the way through the flash EEPROM step before rebooting prematurely on it's own. I've never had...

    After such a successful campaign last year, Bush budget includes privitized Social Security proposal
