Computer dead after flashing BIOS on ABIT KT7 RAID- NEED HELP!!

[John P]

My friend flashed the BIOS on this MB to WW from the DOS prompt. Now the computer won't even boot to a floppy, it beeps one long beep and then shuts off. How does one recover from this??

There is a new fan protection feature,you must have a fan attached to header 1 or it will shut down within 10 seconds.

If it is the fan, is it supposed to give some sort of error message or does it just do nothing? Right now it does nothing, doesn't go into the BIOS or anything.

It,s just supposed to shut down because the fan header is being monitored,and if there is no activity,the the system is led to believe the fan is dead and attempts to save the CPU from overheating.This can be disabled once you get into the bios,But there is no need to.

I just flashed my bios to the latest beta, almost same as latest official but has the ability to disable the fan feature. I also got a BEEP then shut down.. Clear your CMOS and everything should be all good, worked for me.
