I flashed the bios on my A7V motherboard from version 1007 to 1011
today. After the flash, I have been unable to boot all the way into
Windows XP. The system now hangs while either doing the memory test
or while scanning for the IDE devices installed in the system. When I
hit the DEL key to go into the bios setup, it typically locks up on me
at the main setup screen.

Anybody else have this problem?

Any ideas on what I can do to fix it or is the motherboard trashed?

Thanks,
Dave

Some people have a way with
words, others not have way

You sure you flashed the right BIOS version to that MB?

Try clearing CMOS. Most bad flashes DON'T allow you to boot at all,
so the problem is something else, like I said above, sounds like you
flashed the wrong BIOS version for your (original?) A7v.
