for starters i have my KV8-max3 motherboard, and i was trying to flash to the newest version of the bios to get some sticks of RAM to work, i don't even know if that would fix the problem with the RAM, but i'm all out of idea's and such.

Anyway, so i used abit's Flashmenu program to flash the bios, and when my computer restarted, it will run up until it gets to the DMI update, and it said it was successful, but there will be a quick flash of Blue screen (i'm talking barely visible) and then it restarts...anyway to recover to prior to this? I doubt it, but any thoughts would be helpful :( lol

Usually you can flash back to what you had to start with had you saved it as suggested before flashing.

Well i used that flashmenu program as i stated earlier, and i believe it said that it saved it prior to flashing the bios. Any idea how i would revert back to this saved place..? Thank you!

It should have asked you to name the saved file and place it. It's like a "Save As." Alternatively, you can download the older version that worked and re-flash it.
