Well, there are ways to recover if that were to happen but I think your worrying to much. I can tell you is that I've done it many times using that utility and never had an issue.
If you run into a brick wall trying to do it your way, consider the utility - if it will make you feel more comfortable post a different thread to see if others have had problems when using it.

Ok,

I had to finish up a project first before I attempted the Flash update. Well, it is done and all went well and now I have the newest flash update of my bios for my Asus M2N-E motherboard Now here is the discouraging part -

Right now I am clocked at 15X multiplier with 1.4 voltage.

This runs successfully with Ortho and no problems with crashes or reboots. So tonight, I went ahead and pushed the multiplier to 15.5. It booted fine, but when I ran Ortho, it crashed to the blue screen after about 3 minutes.
So, should I increase the voltage and try again? Am I stuck with 15X multiplier? Would I really see much of a difference between 15 and 15.5?

Thanks again and sorry for the late update!
