BIOS *Updated* and not booting

[rockgeek]

Hi,

I have (had) a working A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo. For some reason, I woke up one morning and the computer wouldn't boot. I did all the MS Windows based stuff and eventually found something when wrong with the Bios so I tried updating it.

I followed: http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/ technicaldocuments_content.aspx?no=532&SLanguage=en-us and downlaoded everything off the site.

It got to the point of wring the Bios and it got to the bottom right few blocks and it just stopped. As it says not to switch it off, I left the machine on from 9am Saturday to 9pm Sunday and nothing had changed! I went to have a shower and my dad in his wisdom switched it off.

Now when I switch computer on - I can fan going and hard drive whirring but that's about it.

Can anyone help me - best just to upgrade now? I did read "If your system does not reboot, please consult with your local ASUS dealers or contact ASUS Hotline." but I was hoping someone managed to work around this.

Thanks,

JJ

two things you can do Get a new bios chip or get you old chip reflash.
check my sig if you want to go that way.

Also sometimes asus will give you a new chip at no cost try contacting them,,
not sure how long they take to ship it to you

You'll need to RMA the board or get a new BIOS chip. The formet is probably what you'll have to do.
