Wow, i used the Tmods CD to flash my bios. and now my PC won't post. is there anything i can do or is my MB toast?

Did you follow the instructions included on the CD about loading optimized default, doing the flash and then clear the CMOS?

[Sanosukeafo]

Yes, i loaded optimized default, used CD, then cleared CMOS and won't post. I have a feeling i loaded the wrong bios for my board. anything i can do?

[Sanosukeafo]

Ya just tried to clear cmos again.... nothing is happening. I think I need a new MB now lol.

Try a long cmos clear. The procedure is in the link in my sig. If that doesn't work send Tmod a pm. He can sell you a preflashed bios. It would be the fastest way to get your system back up and it's inexpensive.

Would a CMOS clear default the board to the origanal BIOS it came with? Because i did use the CD and flashed the bios and put another bios on it. I did a 10 min CMOS clear, did not do anything. Sorry i never messed with bios much before in past. I do not even know what a CMOS clear really is heh. I am pretty new at all this stuff. I just followed the directions on the walk throughs on this site. I will set my system up for a long CMOS clear and see if it des anything. And if I order a BIOS chip from Tmod, is it easy to install?

No, it won't. The CMOS clear will only reset the loaded biossettings to default.
