Hey all,
I was flashing my bios to try and fix a keyboard oddity that I've been having. Also, I like to keep my system up to date. Anyway, I used the AMI winflash utility. It erased all but 2 rows of the bios and then started to reprogram. After the first two or 3 rows, my computer decided to restart. I have been 100% stable so far so this was a suprise. I did not post or anything. So I've looked up online what to do to try to recover. I've removed the bios battery and am planning to let my PC sit for half an hr or so (till I get back from running). After that, I was going to reintall it and then either hold insert or f2. I saw online that this may help. Do any of you guys have any ideas outside of RMA'ing? (thats my obvious last option).
Thanks!
-problems resolved. never doing OS level bios flashing again.
