Ok, hoping one of you master level techs can give me a hand. Updated a BIOS in my friends PC using an ASUS winXP utility. During the update I got an error. When I rebooted the system, it gave a disk boot failure. I loaded default options in CMOS and saved, PC booted normally. New BIOS seemed to be detected and working. Shut off PC, and booted it twice. No problems. Got up today and booted PC, and it's beeping like mad.
I'm getting 3 beeps, followed by 5 beeps.
It just hangs. Out of 8 times trying to reboot, once it went into BIOS and said it was operating in "Safe Mode" it told me that something with my front side bus multiplier (Something like this) was incorrect on last boot and caused a crash, recomended I correct it. I reloaded defaults and manually selected 1.8ghz processor. Upon reboot, the same beeps happened. All drives and fans seem to power up without problem. Obviously this BIOS update was hosed. I should have done it in DOS instead of using the Windows XP utility program. I'm kicking myself in the booty for not redoing the Flash in DOS, but I figured if it worked, I wasn't touching anything else! lol
Any ideas? Would pulling out the battery help? This is a friends PC, and unlike my motherboard I don't see any jumpers anywhere near his CMOS battery.
