Default A7DA-S Flash Problems!

Okay, I'm rather worried at the moment. My sig rig here was just recently flashed to the latest bios (version 81BF1P06). I flashed the board the same way that I flashed previously boards and the prompt said that it was successfully flashed. So I reboot and guess what... I have no display! I rebooted several times and i kept on getting no response. The HDD lights don't even blink so it's nothing on the graphics end. I would appreciate the help, thanks!

I'm having the same type of problem on my DFI. I flashed the BIOS and got a BSOD during winflash and now I reset the CMOS multiple ways (removed the battery, cleared CMOS using the clear CMOS buttons) and I can not get a display.

Help is appreciated.

Do either of you folks have a dual BIOS that you can revert back to?

Well, at the moment I'm trying to RMA my board as it seems that it's the only option. I'm going through Foxconn's tech support first and they aren't exactly helpful...

Well I found that my GPU isn't ever turning on, which is why I don't get a display. Now I'm not sure if it's my video card or my mobo. Hope it's my GPU since that would be easiest to RMA. I really don't feel like pulling my mobo out at this point.

Well I just did so more google~ing and I found that you shouldn't use winflash in Vista. 90% of the time it will hose your BIOS and ruin your board.

Hooray for me, looks like I'm going to RMA the board to Newegg. So far that makes two RMA'ed boards (mine and an intel board for a build) within three weeks. Gotta love it man.

new build upgrade from Asus 939 X2 4600 OC - last time I flashed the bios was in Win XP SP2.
Is FOX UPDATE for bios updating reliable ?
