Hello Friends

I have a desktop with:

AMD 2400+ Athlon XP on an ASUS A7V600-X with NVidia MX-440 8X AGP.

Yesturday, using the BIOS update utility on the ASUS cd that came with my computer, I downloaded and flashed my BIOS. When I rebooted, however, all I got was a blank screen. No POST beep, nothing. The fans come on and that is it. I am assuming my BIOS is now corrupted. The manual states that my motherboard has:

CrashFree BIOS 2
The CrashFree BIOS 2 feature now includes the BIOS auto-recovery function in a support CD. Users can reboot their system through the support CD when a bootable disk is not available, and go through the simple BIOS auto-recovery process. ASUS motherboards now enable users to enjoy this protection feature without the need to pay for an optional ROM.

I, fortuately, backed up my bios before flashing it. I have put the ASUS CD in my computer and tried to reboot, but like I said all I get is a black screen. No display comes at all. Please help me what to do now.

Regards

just go to the Asus service centre, they will flash the correct bios in a jiffy !!
However, if u hav a AGP card, then u can plug it in & u WILL get the video ( & can then flash the correct bios thro dos)! the Beauty of Asus !
