Default BIOS update gone wrong - 05-21-2007 , 08:44 PM






Hi everyone,

I am in a bit of trouble here, and it started with using Intel's
Express BIOS update. The mobo is D945GNT, and I was updating to
version 4078. Here's the problem:

I ran the express update, and the instructions said it's supposed to
be done in about 10 minutes and it's supposed to boot itself back into
Windows. I waited through a series of restarts with no post on the
monitor for about 20 minutes, and then it wouldn't start. So I took
the risk of manually restarting it with the switch on the psu. No
post. I got worried. Then the machine started cyclically restart
itself, no post, and it shuts down within 5 seconds or so. I called
Intel tech support, and they think the new BIOS just doesn't like the
memory. I did what they'd suggested, stripped the machine down to a
barebones build, pulled the BIOS config jumper, and attempted a BIOS
recovery with an older version of the BIOS. Put the jumper back in
"Normal", still no post, and it still does that funny cyclical restart
thing on its own.

Anyone has any idea? Please help. Thanks.
