Please log in for more thread options I'm afraid I'm stuck now. After flashing the M2D-VM HDMI BIOS yesterday, I still had problems with hardware, no longer memory or video related, but other. So, I flashed my BIOS to a Beta version to see if that would bring any improvement. It went OK, I rebooted and I can't get into the Bios setup any more. So I guess that was that. Do you have any tip how I could repair this? If not, I'll put another mobo in, that has less problems and a good BIOS. Could you recommend a GOOD motherboard with a good BIOS and when possible no onboard video and sound? It's for a AMD Athlon X2 BE-2300 processor and at least 4GB memory.. TIA, Derk | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In situations such as this it is usually a good idea to refer to the manual to find out what the recovery methods for that particular board are. In this case page 2-10. The manual is available at http://static.tigerdirect.ca/pdf/ASUS_M2A-VM_HDMI_Manual.pdf if you don't have your copy lying around. I'll leave it up to you to find an approproate BIOS file for your MB. -- Andrew Smallshaw andrews@sdf.lonestar.org | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Have you tried resetting the BIOS with the Clear CMOS jumper?
