Angry_Games Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 you will have to ship your bios to the local EU DFI office to have it reflashed for you, or you will have to find another NF2 with the same bios chip to do a hotflash. for review boards you will need to contact DFI and speak to someone in marketing as we (RG and I) do not have anything to do with who gets or doesnt get review boards. ps: thx for specs in sig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmke Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 hello, thank you for your answer, unfortunately shipping the BIOS around is no option for me as I need to a working board now for finish testing. so a BIOS corrupting itself all by itself like that happens often on DFI NFII boards? :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
