    i tried to flash my bios but after i reboot it can't start up again and the internal speaker beeps continuously, the only things i can do is go to Bios setup or EZflash, when i restored it to the original Bios it was fine again

    if it has any significance it also beeps once when i turn on the power, and the whole system freezes when i try to install PcProbe or Asus update or within a minute of starting Star Wars: KOTR

    Are you sure the BIOS update it for exactly that board?

    Did you clear the CMOS after the update?

    One beep means that all is well.

    its definately the right BIOS update

    if by clearing CMOS you mean taking out the battery and shorting the jumper, no i haven't tried that - the guide on the ASUS website says that you can just enter setup and load the defaults

    Redownload it just to be sure.

    You don't need to remove the battery.

    Just set the jumper to the clear CMOS position for a few seconds then put it back to the normal position.

    I always clear it after an upgrade.

    Most manufactirers recommend clearing CMOS before you update, too.
    if your font size is this small i'll add you to my ignore list because you're wasting my time, OK?

    haven't had a chance to try clearing CMOS (i have an exam tomorrow, i shouldn't be here really)

    but Star Wars started working i can't remember if i changed anything :confused:
    also Asus update install instead of crashing immendiatly sometimes says it can't detect a Asus motherboard
