    I'm trying to understand what could have gone wrong and if I still have a chance to recover my Mobo. So I analyzed your modded BIOS. It is weird that your modded BIOS was supposed to contain a DELL cert but it does NOT. No DELL string anywhere in your ROM file! Serg008 proposals however all contained a DELL string. Can you explain what tool you used to mod the BIOS and what you have tried? In a post that you deleted, you mentionned something about a possible black hole in the BIOS and some code at F0. What is that?

    The program "MMTooL" incorrectly replaced the modified module "1B" and as a result incorrectly completed assembly of the final file. Corrupted boot block - the result of improper flashing. The key /B should be excluded from the process of flashing

    What's your suggestion? Do I have a chance to recover?

    By the way, I did NOT used the /B key when I flashed the ROM file.

    Try a file named "SUPER.ROM" burn to CD
    If this does not work - then restore the BIOS chip to the programmator
    In our country, this service costs about $2 - $3

    What do you mean by restore BIOS file to the programmator?

    restore BIOS file to the programmator, if all other methods will not succeed
    I apologize for the damage
    good luck

    Thank you for apologizing!
    I'm sorry but I still don't understand "Restore BIOS file or BIOS chip to the programmator". Do you mean sending the card back to the vendor and having it repaired? Do you mean unsoldering the EEPROM and sending it to someone that could re-program it?

    Has somebody tried hot flashing?
    Because it is a dual CPU card, is there a second BIOS chip on the mobo?
