BIOS HELP - Crazy question

I was upgrading the BIOS on my D945GPM Intel MB. They have a utility that starts in windows, restarts your pc, updates the bios, then launches windows.





My question is this. I was at the dos screen and it said updating bios.. And my power went out at my house. Now when I turn on the pc, there's no video, no post, nothing. The lights all come on. The floppy drive light fla

shes, then the CD light, then the floppy, then the cd. and round and round.





What should I do ? This has never happened to me before.



Thanks,

Brian

Im curios as to why you flashed the bios.

usually bios is flashed for a specific reason.

Update for bios to improve bios performance and

correct errors for hardware detection so something

is compatible. Did you read the reason why you needed

the upgrade and what was it, and why was it performed?



I wouldnt flash just to update. If you don't need it then

don't do it. its risky business if corruption occurs.

don't panic.... first read this:

done? ....ok, you must prepare a boot floppy disk from another PC



it must contain: an autoexec.bat file, the flasher and the old bios (or the new one)

on the autoexec.bat you write the commands to tell the flasher to (obvious) flash the bios....

check your flasher readme /motherboard manual / google for more help... I did that a long time ago and don't remember that much... if you have any questions just ask



good luck

You're a genious. Here is how I fixed it.

I went to Intel.com, downloaded a recovery bios file, put it on a floppy, removed the bios jumper, and let the MB do the rest of the work. And it WORKS !!! Thank you so much. I've been doing this for years and never had this problem before. I guess you really do learn something new everyday.
