RMA it back to MSI for replacement.

If resetting the BIOS does not get it going, you will have to get a new board. Not much else you can do.

🙁 A couple of quick questions. Where you Flashing the BIOS within Windows or from a Floppy boot disk drive? In most cases the Flash program will ask if you want to save a copy of your old BIOS. That way you can return your BIOS back if the new one does not work. I suggest you contact the MB manufacture and see if you can re flash the BIOS using the floppy method with the new updated BIOS. Good luck....

You can lock this topic. I sent in the computer for repairs (other then this UGH)

You should beat your nephew. Repeatedly.

Many, many years ago (like in 1994) I flashed a BIOS... it was for an AMI and I flashed an Award BIOS onto the board (or was it the other way around?). Whoops. Won't do that again! It just beeped a continuous beep pattern after that... thank god it wasn't mine! I think all modern flashing applets do some sort of check to make sure you're flashing the right file, but no program can protect a computer from a PITA nephew with a death wish.
