Strange......


Go into your BIOS and set your BIOS to default setting. Then try booting up.

Can you still atleast boot into windows?

When you where flashing your BIOS, did you by any chance happen to copy a file called autoexec.bat over to your C Drive? I know that some BIOS updates include an Autoexec.bat file. Purpose being is that it acts a boot disk to flash your BIOS. However autoexec.bat on your C drive is one of your key files used to boot into windows.

I am just questioning whether or not your overwrote your C Drive's autoexec.bat file?
