I once bought a MB and flashed it right away, as per my usual
procedure for updating "any" hardware or software that is new...

They forgot to include support for the type video card I was using,
ISA. It was too old. Not the card  ---  the type as a whole...
There was nothing on their WEB site about it.
I had to call and they knew right away what the problem was.

I had to switch to a supported video type, and could have then
re-flashed back to the old version. Always save if asked, or
better - download the old one too while there...

Good luck,     Rick Glazier

> I just flashed the BIOS on my dad's PC (an ABIT SE-6) Mobo. The flash progressed normally and all appeared normal. When the
process finished, I attempted to reboot, but got no post. I get no video, beeps, or anything that gives me a clue to the problem. I
downloaded the correct Bios from the Abit web-site. I have never had any similar problems when flashing, and have flashed several
Mobos previously. I suspect something caused the integrated video to go bad. I will try to find a PCI or AGP video card in my junk
pile, install it and see if it will boot then. My question is has any body had a similar problem, and if so were you able to resolve
it short of a new Mobo?
