I flashed my BIOS (Alt F2 method) with the latest update and during the course of the flash the MB re-booted before the flash was complete. I’ve done this a few times before (using the boot floppy method) with the same system with no problems. On inspection the BIOS chip is blank apart from the boot from floppy section (emergency BIOS load). Instructions from the board (EPOX 8KHA+) manufacturer suggest using a non-accelerated graphics card but this did not work either even using the specially supplied Autoexec.bat file to provide the necessary keyboard inputs without being able to see anything on the monitor.
I have had to order a new BIOS chip from the importers, but the question is this. Is there any known problem with this motherboard and the inbuilt ALT F2 method of BIOS flashing that anyone knows about?
