When I flash my bios in Q-Flash to bios revsion F4g, it verifies that the flash successfully completes, but upon rebooting the computer keeps restarting with a bios auto-recovery message. The only way I can stop this is to remove the battery from the motherboard to clear the cmos, thats when it reverts back to the old F2 bios revision and boots fine thereafter. I've since downloaded the file again verifying that it's the right file and even use a new floppy, but still no success. Can anyone help?

Nevermind, successfully ( at least that's what it said) flashed BIOS to F4g. Computer loaded to Windows then the computer rebooted, and now won't post. It powers up for three seconds then resets,and does this repeatedly until I shut it down. I have had nothing but problems with this board.

I see you are using Crucial Ballistix memory. I would stick to bios F2 for a more stable system. There are problems with F4G and Crucial PC8500s.
