    If you upgrated you Bios... that is final! (Most of the time&#33
    If set something manualy you can reset it with a jumper or this...:

    Hope your battery is not solded?
    Remove your battery!

    Start it up... nothing happens.. sure...
    Replace your battery... see what happens.. if your in luck it starts with a error message.. "Bios mismatch"
    "F1 to enter setup or any key to resume..." or something like that... depends on the manufactuar..

    try it!

    I know really,it&#39;s just that we often sort of insult things we don&#39;t understand,it&#39;s brave (and clever) souls like yourselves who are pushing the boundaries with &#39;puters,fair play to you folks.I&#39;m 45 and we weren&#39;t even allowed calculators at school ......mind you,I&#39;ve seen some amusing incidents in pubs & shops when the tills go bump,some of the operators may be studying for some advanced degree or other,but 1/2 of &#39;em can&#39;t add £1.50 & £1.50........gawd,I sound just like my mother,time for another lie down methinks

    I_DONT_SHARE_PORN, I am not always messing up my computer. I tried Linux. Maybe I should go with the theory, "If it isn&#39;t broken, don&#39;t fix it." Linux was OK. I got rid of it. All I did was use Gigabyte&#39;s driver CD to update the BIOS. When it asked me to restart, I did. It restarted into nothing and beeped circa seven times. I powered down and unplugged the power from the back. I opened the case. I reset the power. I rebooted and the beeping disappeared. The BIOS still don&#39;t load.

    This my mobo: http://tw.giga-byte.com/products/ga6vx7_4x.htm . If I reset the CMOS, will the data on my HD be lost?

    ABSOLUTELY NOT&#33;

    Differend hardware&#33;
    If you can give your CMOS a reset, all files on your HD will stay just as there were before&#33;
    But maybe you&#39;ll have to auto-detect you HD drive(s) again.. that&#39;s all...

    If this (Official) site gives you a sollution that might help.. do it&#33;

    I always recommend getting the newest drivers (or bios in this case) from the manufacturers website and not using any of the outdated stuff on the CD.
    Rocktron is right, what you do to your bios wont effect the data on your hard drive.

    Go download the pdf manual from that web site you posted: http://ftp.gigabyte.com.tw/support/user_pd...vx7_4x_32_1.pdf
    Go to page 28 of the manual and you will see the JP1 jumper identified there. And those guys are right your harddisk data will not be changed.

    What Bios revision did you try to update to? In future check the mfg. web site for the latest non beta revision you can find. In your case use revision [ F45 - (Dec.18, 2001) ] http://ftp.gigabyte.com.tw/support/temp/6v...6vx7_4x_f45.zip

    if it turns out none of the previous suggestions work there is one other that is a sure fix if the bios has been corrupted.
    Get another mb same make and model as yours. Buy one locally from a dealer with a liberal return policy.
    1. Remove power to your system
    2. Unplug the corrupted bios chip
    3. Install the bios chip from the new mb into your system
    4. Apply power to your system and Boot it up.
    5. Don&#39;t turn your system off ..... &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Be very careful &#33;&#33;&#33;
    6. Remove the bios chip from your system while power is applied.
    7. Install corrupted bios chip back into your system
    8. reflash the corrupted chip and this time make sure you know what your doing.
    You may need to do this several times until you get the hang of it.
    And don&#39;t reflash the new bios.
    Obviously you didn&#39;t do it right the first time or you wouldn&#39;t have the problem. So don&#39;t try experimenting on the new bios.
