However, the fact that the computer runs fine EXCEPT HEAVY LOAD implies that the flash went through fine, at least in my opinion. I've never messed up a bios flash before so I'm unsure if it would even work to that extent if you did. Sounds again like a heat issue b/c of the heavy load aspect you mentioned.
