I was flashing a ABIT BE6 Motherboard (which uses Award BIOS).. and after flashing, the system would not boot. Is there a way to redo this, or am I screwed?
Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
 
If that fails to solve your problem, you could:
1) Do a "hotflash" if you find someone w/ the same motherboard.

or

2) Contact Abit Tech support (oxymoron 😛 ) and buy another bios chip to replace the one you screwed up. A while back, I had to get one for a friends' BE6-II and they charged around $20 I believed.



*"hotflash" - I believe that's the term. Anyway, I did it successfully on that very same BE6-II that I'd mentioned above and few other boards as well. You replace the "dead" Bios chip w/a working one off a same model motherboard and boot up into DOS. Proceed through the steps to flashing the bios but just before the actual flash (w/everything still on) yank out the bios chip (w/a bios chip puller)and replace it w/ the dead one and continue through w/ the flash. Clear previous CMOS, replace jumper to original configuration and reboot.
