I have an AV7333 Motherboard...
a friend and i were updating the BIOS and ... well.. admit that we royally messed it up. We tried using Aflash (by the way this motherboard is by Asus), but we got an error which was along the lines of not compatible... sooo... we used the "built in" flashing utility when the motherboard boots up.
I'm starting to think that that was not for the BIOS but something else.
So after we replaced the BIOS chip and put a new one in with the new revision in, we start up the computer and nothing happens except the CD-Rom flashes... the HArd Drive light comes on and stays on then goes off after a few minutes and nothing else. I'd like to know what that was in the beginning of the boot that we used... and what exactly i can do to fix it. And keep in mind that we were doing this at 2 in the morning... and i'll never do that again because we were both irritated and wanted it working...

-Please Please Help.... we are so confused...

Ok..... well... um....
how can i prove that its fried? Seems like it was working just fine... then we flashed the BIOS, it stopped working, we waited a week put a new one in and it didn't work... that seems kind of random for it to just die.
