FLUSHING THE BIOS DIDNT WORK!!!
and then, HOT FLUSHING THE BIOS DIDNT WORK!!!
hot flushing:
1 start up a machine with an identical bios chip (thankfully my neighbor has the same motherboard and bios..) format a floppy disk to be a boot disk, and load the bios drivers and updates onto that disk.
2 reboot the machine, the floppy will load the machine into dos. once there, remove the bios chip, and insert mine.
3 flush the bios with the info + updates from the floppy disk (essentially, formatting it).
4 remove the chip, replace the old, reboot (it will be fine). and put the newly flushed chip back into my own motherboard.
if the problem is with the bios, THIS WILL CURE IT.
but it didnt, so the motherboard itself was the problem, as i tested every other component in a different motherboard, and it worked.
thus, im buying a new mobo.
Maybe because that is called “FLASHING” the bios, not “hot flushing” lol.

You do realize you could have gotten an updated BIOS from your mobo manufacturer’s website right?

he could of also used a live update utility (if his board had one on the mb disc)
well i guess you might be stuck with buyying a new mobo. Get a decent one , not some $20 peace of crap (i doubt you would do that thou ;))
