BIOS help

[Sutorx]

Hello i have a 965p gigabyte mobo, its a 965p-s3 and it has dual bios. I flashed the bios and wham no restart just hangs with no video what so ever. both the power light and hard drive light remains lit fans turn on. It worked fine before and i was trying to flash to the new 45nm processor bios but now it wont work at all. This mobo is supposed to have a dual bios and it wont even boot in that, am i supposed to do some key sequence to boot up in dual bios, i read that it is supposed to do it automatically. I have tried clearing the bios serveral times by the jumpers and the batterie method. tried taking everything out and all that. so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thansk

did you read the manual and specifically the section on the bios and flashing, some you have to jumper or do special keys to do the flash properly.

yup read through the manual it says it supposed to change automatically, now reading something else on the website it has a "virtual" duo bios? what does virtual mean?

it's not a true dual bios. ones probably stored on the HDD, or supposed to.
I'd say either RMA the board or fork out money for a replacement bios chip.

i think im just getting a new board, GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L, its a good excuse to upgrade to a nicer board
