GA K8NF 9 BIOS problem

I've got a new PC and tried to upgrade BIOS F2 to F3 with @BIOS. After
loading optimised settings? my PC won't boot. It gets stuck after
showing NVidia Boot Agent 201.0462, then Client MAC Address ("PXE-E53
No boot filename received") and then gets stuck on PXE-MOF: exiting
NVidia Boot Agent.

I tried to upgrade to F4 with a floppy through @BIOS in BIOS and it
reports "file size too small".

Any help much appreciated

Hi Bobby,download the new F4 BIOS to your desktop then run the program
and have it install on the Desktop ,you should then have a number of
new files appear one of them will be the F4 file and should be 512 in
size load this on the floppy after you have reformatted it and this
should then install. I have had to do this to install F6 BIOS on my
GA-K8NXP-SLI MOBO with the floppy

Thanks for the tip. I installed f4 and now my post shows f4 but it
still gets stuck exactly as before. Any other ideas please!

Thanks for sticking with me! My BIOS seems to call defaults
"optimised". I've tried this and clearing CMOS with jumper and
re-installing Win XP Pro. Nothing changes so far. Appreciate your help.

Hi Bobby, after you have loaded the new BIOS when you start up your
computer keep pressing delete and when it shows theCMOS screen load
Fail-safe Defaults if you can not find this in the CMOS then go into
the BIOS screen and load the BIOS Defaults ,also if you look in the
back of your user's manual at the bach under Troubleshooting it
should help you

Hi Bobby, :?: Try going back down to F2 and see what that does,after
this all i can say is tack it all to bits and re-build and see if
this does it but Do the BIOS to F2 first

Thanks Karl. I've given it in for repair and I'll let you know of the
outcome.
