    Disconnect all drives and . Reboot to post screen , then power off. Reconnect drives etc and reboot. Go into BIOS and load optimized default settings.

    Hope this helps.

    No crack or loaders 911medic :(

    after doing a bit of searching i have managed to find a recovery boot cd with the same bios revision as mine 319.rom
    ive popped it in the dvd drive and after waiting a while the award flash utility window opens but i'm getting invalid windows license
    not sure if there could be a conflict with the installed bios and bios to be programmed as there both the same 319.rom here's what the autoexec says if anyone can tell if the command switches are correct cos i have no idea :(

    Code:
    awdfl882.exe 319.rom /py/sn/f/cc/r

    I was meaning the awardflash program, in this case awdfl882..

    Is there an onboard flasher in the bios. maybe an option to protect from flash. I would also check that the bios file is not read only..this has happened before.

    Also an idea, is the bios not really the same? try to make one with your actual bios download???
