Computer Freezing after BIOS update

[Emrys]

After having some problems with the on board LAN I updated the BIOS from revision 1 to the most recent. Once updated the computer started freezing and would either lockup while booting or shortly after loading into Windows 7. I have reverted back to the old BIOS with original settings, but am continuing to have the same problems.

I was able to get into safe mode once and ran hard drive diagnostics w/no problems so I'm assuming they are not the problem. There have been no hardware changes.

Any thoughts on what else to check? I haven't received a blue screen just the computer freezing.

Thanks

Check your memory timings in the BIOS to make sure they didn't get changed to something not supported. It's rare, but I had that happen a couple of times with ECS boards.

When all else fails, try the "build & boot" method of troubleshooting.
(you'll find the technique by searching here...or in the general hardware forum)

Clear CMOS after making note of any settings you've changed from default.

Just like BoomerD.it append to me to on ecs boards
