I got a BSOD when flashing my BIOS, so now its Failed Bios, cant boot...

Does anyone know where can i go to fix this ? im really in desperate...

DFI DK 790FXB-M2RSH...

u'll probably need to RMA it to get it fixed...

oic.. sorry for u... btw in general, why do we flash bios? i mean is it a must to flash or just let it be in the original factory setting?

hard to explain.. more or less like why you run windows update & put service pack.
can be increase performance, fix bug /security hole, compatibility problem.
is it a must? not necessary if you don't need the fix.
the risk of failure is like James case, no boot

BIOS (Basic Input /Output System) is "program" stored inside a "chip" of your mobo.
flash BIOS = put service pack, different from "changing factory setting" = play control panel.
new BIOS = more things to play in control panel
you can easily reset CMOS (the "chip") stored settings to default by pull out battery,
but you need special tool /program to "flash" BIOS version (either upgrade or downgrade).

backup the data and do a full format (including deleting all the partitions) and see whether it works

if it doesn't, you can RMA them if they still have warranty. usually the manufacturer website will let you check the warranty status by keying in the serial number

single or dual channel configuration doesn't speed up the computer. it merely speed up the LOADING process. more amount of data can be written / read to the memory on dual channel configuration

but the speed advantage is minimal if not noticeable on normal, every day computing

but when you are talking about games with HUGE maps to load, dual channel will be significantly faster to load the maps

same goes with ultra high resolution picture editigin or any programs that sucks up huge amount of memory

you need to RMA bro..fast as you can bro...

this one serious shit problem for you =.=

why you got BSOD when flashing your bios?because of ram?

Cos the latest BIOS added a new Phenom function...

Im not sure myself... just suddenly she the blue shit... and then only i know i hit the shit...

Any other way ? mayb is there any shop that can flash bios externally ?

E6600 vs E5200..
who win?

in term of wat does ram effect game performance? is more ram can give smoother gameplay or jus increases the loading time?

When the machines starts, is it a blank screen... or is there any text or beeps? Have try looking into the motherboard manual on BIOS recovery procedure (usually may requires the use of CD/DVD drive or floppy disk drive) ?

Depends.... In gaming, it will be E6600 overall due to larger cache and higher bus speed.

More RAM means most of the game program can reside in the memory, thus less paging (use of "virtual memory).

Black screen... no text no nothing... looked into the manual... the only thing i know is the Download Flash Bios Pins, which i think need a external to flash it... and they didnt give any instruction on bios recovery or any disk...
Then im thinking of Hotflashing, but i dunno who willing to borrow their mobo...
So im looking for any shop or place than have bios flashing service... but still cant find yet...

Worst case scenario, get a new board, hot flash myself, then sell it out for a much lower price, but problem is i dun have so much money at the moment, so looking for flashing service would be the best...

performance, e66 wins
value, e52 wins

not worth any amount of money. imporvement is insignificant. better spend ur money to get a larger LCD panel or a better sound system

E8200 2.66GHz 6MB Cache 1333MHz FSB
E8400 3.00GHz 6MB Cache 1333MHz FSB

E8200 = 8x333 = 2660MHz
E8400 = 9x333 = 3000MHz

if u r not overclocking just remain with ur e8200, not much different with e8400.... if im in ur place ill clock e8200 to 3000mhz... if u wana upgrade look for e8500

nah, not e8500, e8600 bigger multiplier.. but he is using g31m-s2l.. i dunno much abt that mobo o.0

hes using g31m-s2l meh? tan upgrade the mobo 1st la.. its my suggestion oni
