I know this probably sounds weird but i am glad others are having the same problem as this means it is not me! MSI have gone back to the dark ages with there bios flashing technique especially since it reports the flashing a success yet both of my boards are bricked! I have never had a problem with other makes and i have flashed a number of times so i know what i am doing, which leads me to believe MSI have got a major problem on there hands!
