I tried to update my sys bios from with in the ntune program saved present bios and ckecked for update, program said update successful restart ur computer I did then nothing when it booted back up, screen says no signal but everything is in the case seems to be fine fans etc, is it possible I flashed the grafics cards as well and lost it, or im I being silly and I have fu*ked it up completey.

I’ve reseated the card and cleared the cmos via the jumper caps but still the same screen is not getting any signal.

Any helpers

No Signal usually means No Video output ,do you have any disc for your Video card that might load ?

That should have nothing to do with your video card. You may have had a bad flash. Look in your manual for how to clear the cmos. Clear the cmos and try again.


If you hosed your bios you may have toasted your motherboard.

Hosed: Fubar, Broke, shot, destroyed, Killed....

You'll either have to warranty the motherboard, or they will send you a replacement bios chip.

[lmnobs]

Just for the heck of it can you unplug your Video card and plug monitor in to possibly an onboard video connector on your system,if so and it comes up then the Card somehow got flashed or fried or who knows??? If you did not Hose the Board as the Guy not in the Van said then POSSIBLY you can remove the CMOS battery on the Board and Just maybe say after twenty minutes reinstall it and it will default back....

Ive never heard of a video card getting flashed from a BIOS upgrade. I would be that it is a bad flash on the BIOS upgrade

[basel]

any ideas how to fix it tolerance

[vantim]

I agree with Zero Tolerance. A video card cannot be fried from flashing your bios. There is also no way to recover from a bad bios flash unless you board features a redundant bios. The only fix is to replace the motherboard or replace the bios chip. If your board is still under warranty return it immediately and get another one.

yeah...what vantim said!

Bios flashes are scarey!

LOL :D I only upgrade if and i say IF i have to because of a major issue.
