    and why did you not use the winflash bios flasher, which is done in windows, and just requires a reboot is all !

    please tell me you did a backup of your BIOS first. Why do so many people skip this step? Just flash it again with the correct version.

    Dj, I have a dfi ultra D, bios chip is accesable(no case) you can do it if you still plan on picking up that gear. Not sure how you do it myself.

    if the board is newish, just rma it, say it just went tits up. I think there is a jumper setting to allow you into a backup bios if all goes wrong, but im not sure. Will check it out for you.

    *Edit*
    An RMA will take weeks and its some Gigabyte boards that have a Dual cmos chip so you can hot flash from one to the other.......
