I read somewhere (a long time ago) that EEPROM chips are VERY sensitive to UV light and that is how they are erased in mass bunches. Now with UV lighting in cases now-a-days, that seems to suggest that either the light is not strong enough, or EEPROM's are not sensitive to UV light. Can anyone shed some light (no pun intended) on this matter...dolf said:I know that you can't boot even from the PCI card when the PCIX card is installed. The reason most probably is that you have flashed wrong BIOS (AGP BIOS to your PCIX) card.
It will not boot on the other computer also. I have a friend which did the same thing on his X800PRO AGP (he flashed PCIX BIOS). The only solution was unsoldering of the EEPROM chip and re-programming it on external programmer. (You should clear somehow the EEPROM and then even empty it will allow you to boot)
Good luck
If this is true, it may prove to be an easier way to "blank" the EEPROM, rather than removing it and then manually erasing it.

EDIT: OK, I found a site that talks about UV light but I was mistaken. It is for EPROM's and not EEPROM's. Here is the link:
