I am not sure if any here has any experience with this or not. I am not
sure if the problem I am experiencing is a Windows problem or a possible
BIOS problem.
I flashed the BIOS tonight to the latest BIOS version available because I
was going to upgrade the processor and the motherboard needed the newer BIOS
to recognize the new CPUs.
After what I thought was a successful flash of the BIOS, the PC rebooted.
Upon POST, I saw the new BIOS version. However, I immediately shutdown the
PC and per standard recommended flashing guidelines, I unplugged the power
cord and moved the jumper CMOS pin over to clear CMOS. Then, I put the CMOS
pin back to the original position, plugged the power cord back in, and
turned on the PC. The PC booted to the point where the Windows XP splash
screen comes up with the scrolling blue dots. At that point, there is a
BSOD for about a second (too fast for me to get any kind of data off of it)
and the PC rebooted.
Does anyone know for sure if this sounds like the BIOS is corrupted or if
this could be an XP problem?
Thanks for any help, insight, or suggestions you can provide.
