    Hi Fzeven!
    The first flash wasn't very successful. The flash failed and I ended up with a bricked BIOS...
    Luckily it's an Award BIOS, which looks for a floppy drive when the BIOS checksum fails. The only problem was that I didn't have one...
    So I borrowed a floppy drive and connected it to the controller. I had to make a boot disk which allowed me to do the flash without any manual intervention, because I have a USB connected keyboard. That doesn't work with a bricked BIOS.
    The first attempt didn't do anything (hang) but the second one flashed the BIOS successfully with the flash code you provided. I had my motherboard back, hurray!!!!
    I installed Vista Ultimate, started the Windows Vista Activation tool, selected ASUS (the tool also allows you to insert the Asus logo in your control panel, nice!) and activated Vista. After a reboot I issued the slmgr.exe -xpr command, which showed "This machine is permanently activated". YES!!!!
    Thank you VERY much for your help!!!!!!!

    I'm sorry to hear that.:(
    It is downloaded more than 10 times, most of the time the feedback is immediate when a mod is bad.
    Are there any more that have bricked it?
    Maby you had a bad flash, I'll take the mod off line for the time beiing .
