Rootkits coming to your motherboard

Published on January 27, 2006

I've got an NF7-S w/ an Athlon XP 2500+

I downloaded the software to upgrade BIOS from desktop, then downloaded the latest bios file. ran the program, it said everything was successful, i had to reboot and all of a sudden - nothing going. System starts up, fans run, no beep at all. I tried resetting the cmos numerous times, with the ATX cord disconnect, the battery out etc. etc... any other options for me?? I did do one little test to see if the mobo died with removing memory and I did get a beep, so it's alive

I'm pretty inexperienced with BIOS stuff (and I don't have a floppy drive, yes that's right, I don't....)

any ideas?
