Hi all, I'm new on this board but I've been visiting the site 3~5 times per week for a while now.
And here's my problem: Last Saturday I built a new system, Intel P4-2.6 + ECS 848P-A7 Mobo + EVGA FX5500 256MB + 512MB Kingston PC-3200. After installing WinXP and all the updates, I installed the video driver and the screen turned white and filled up with black dots aligned horizontally, and it would reboot itself and doesn't boot up unless I reset it. I tried everything I know and even followed instructions from EVGA techs and nothing worked. Until this morning i decided to flash the BIOS so I went to ECS site, followed the instructions and flashed the BIOS with the one that showed the correct model# for my mobo, and rebooted. Then after that the system won't boot again. I tried clearing the CMOS, tried removing the CMOS battery, nothing worked. It seems that the BIOS is destroyed.
Can anyone please offer their expertise in this matter? Your assistance will be appreciated!
