Awful BIOS problem

[Decker87]

So, I'm overclocking and such...and eventually I hit problems. The heat was good (33 degrees at idle), then I step up about 15 mhz (total, 1 mhz fsb) and it won't start. So, I figured maybe it's a bios problem and I should update....so I downloaded the latest bios update for my nf7-s and flashed it using abit's flash utility.

Guess what...now even the bios won't start. And no, I don't have an NF7-S 2. It's an Abit NF7-S. What the heck do I do now? I cleared the CMOS and that won't do anything.

Turn on power and press <b>INSERT</b> key (it might take a few times).

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

I tried that about 20 times, doesn't work. But I just figured out that I used the wrong Bios download version that wasn't for my mobo. Well, I guess I'll probably have to get a new one. Is there anything else I could do?

Re-Flash board with correct one.

What is 'post'?

Also, how do I manually re-flash my bios?

Just to add, I installed the completely wrong Bios version for my motherboard. Is there for sure a way to recover it? I need an answer fairly quickly, as an auction for a mobo i have my eye on is closing soon.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Decker87 on 11/21/04 02:51 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

Basically, when you turn the thing on do you see anything? If you can boot to a floppy you could re-flash to the correct BIOS. Otherwise you'd better contact <A HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/tmod/index.htm" target="_new">T-mod.</A>
