Hi I have an EVGA 650i Ultra motherboard, I tried to update the bios the the newest version, i got it off the evga site so i know that it was the right one. It installed fine and it said F1 to continue. Once i rebooted it would sometimes post and sometimes not. I checked all the other hardware on another computer to see if it was something else but it wasn't. I RMA to evga and it came back and its the same thing. What should i do?

I had a failed BIOS flash on my Toshiba A215-S7444, I found these guys on the web: www.aqstech.com they did the repair for around $99. Give them a call, they're one of the only places in North America that can do this type of repair.

Hey, can anyone answer instead of asking more and more questions? I have an HP Pavilion dv2000 with fried BIOS. Any advice on how to bring it back to life? Thanks!

Visit the HP support site and look for instructions on resetting the BIOS, or potentially replacing it. The details vary from machine to machine.
