theres quite an extensive thread around here about bios recovery in case of a bad flash,

theres also the issue that ECS usualy has several revisions of each boards, with several modifications that can make the bios from one revision incompatible with the other revisions, so take that in to mind,

btw, didnt ECS started shipping that top hat thingy with their mid and high end boards ?

rma'd the mobo

i got a new mobo anyway...i was hoping when i got he new one it would read the f-ing cpu temp correctly but..not a f-ing chance, still reads 45-50c idle.the guy at the store put my cpu into another computer and it read idle at 29c.so i know the cpu is fine its just the useless temp sensor on the mobo.:banghead:

carefull, a cheap PSU with unstable rails can raise temperature,
i would make sure its the sensor and not a bad build thats providing that nice 15-20 degree temperature rise
