Reset ASUS BIOS?

[Jason Dunn]

Well, now I've done it. :-(

I couldn't get past 300mhz with my normal ASUS BIOS on the TX-97E, so I
thought I'd install the beta BIOS for the board off the site. Of course, I'm
an idiot and didn't read the instructions in the first place - I've
supposedly flashed the BIOS twice, but I never changed the jumpter on the
board so it never really "took" (which might explain why it was always
300mhz no matter how I changed the jumpers). WIth the beta flash, it said it
worked. I powered down. I powered back up - nothing. Nada. ZIP. My CD-ROM
starts freaking out (ie: accessing though nothing is in the drive). Machine
won't even boot at all.

All the manual says to do when a BIOS update goes bad is to "take it into a
technician". I've tried booting with the BIOS jumper off and on, no
difference. How does one manually reset the BIOS once something like this
happens?

I've done web and Dejanews searches and came up with ziltch.

If only this K-6 was as easy to get working as my new Celeron....sigh.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jason

If you have screwed up the BIOS, I think you will need to swap your
knackered BIOS for one that is OK before the machine will start. I don't
know of any other way to do it. You will need a new chip, but they are not
difficult to fit.

Thanks

There is one way if your bios is award........

http://www.award.com/tech/utils.htm discusses how to do it.......you'll need
an ISA vidcard (or youre gonna hafta do it without seeing anything) and
youre going to have to prepare a bootdisk with the proper bios etc.......
