I recently flashed my MSI K8N Neo2 Bios with the new 1.b. I think i accidentally flashed the bot sector also. My computer has been acting funny ever since then. Is there anyway to get the boot sector back to its defaults or have i erased information that is not retrievable? The POST display is whacky now also. What do I need to do to get the BIOS back to its original form?
Thanks

Why would flashing the BIOS effect your boot sector? If you had erased any information in there the machine would very likely not load Windows.

It did not load windows first couple of tries. I cleared CMOS and then I could boot agin. Just was never the same since then. What did I screw up?

The answer is in your reply :). If you had to clear the CMOS to boot windows, then you had something screwed up in the CMOS. There are a number of things you might want to check at this point: devices that are enabled/disabled, ports speeds, etc. You should ask a knowlegeable friend to have a look at it for you.
