Looks like your bios is corrupted.

[darkmonki]

any way to fix it?

[GoNz0]

will need the BIOS flashing again, nothing you can do though, RMA or remove the bios and post it to abit for a reflash?

could take the battery our for a few hours, see if that does it?

[listy]

cant you do blind flash?

[darkmonki]

RMA??
so you mean basicly the mobo is ****ed? lol

[ABIT Sean]

Do you have a floppy drive? If so then put the bios files onto a floppy disk and restore the bios.

[darkmonki]

You mean like just when updating the bios??

i will try that, i only got version 19 on floppy tho

[GoNz0]
