Here's the situation, I just upgraded my video card from a 9800 Pro to a 1950GT. It runs smoothly I believe with -0.2v on the rails max. However, when I'm installing drivers, xp, etc and let it restart, it will not restart. It will shut down, but then not display anything again. I need to force it to shut down by holding the power and then boot it up. I'm convinced that it's my BIOS which is the original version that was released with the mobo in 2003 which is too old. Two questions:
1. Is this a possible cause/solution?
2. Can I flash the bios just with a USB Flash drive or CD-Rom? I have no floppy drive.
I need somebody to hold my hand, I hear flashing the BIOS unsuccessfully = game over.
Any other input is greatly appreciated.
