    Winflash is a noobiest thing to do with any mobo and since a lot of people over here do a winflash bios update, we will see a lot of this around.

    On the next time, do a dos flash but:
    Don't use a floppy to flash from! Use a ramdrive to it!!!
    MSI's staff says:
    Hi there,

    LiveUpdate was safe before, but be carefull how you use it.....
    They added the Windows-flash in there....
    Do NOT use this option, if it fails it renders your board dead!!!!
    Use the DOS-based flashing when LiveUpdate gives you the option....
    DOS-based is the old full-proof version, the Win-flash option flashes your BIOS from within Windows, but if your Windows does something strange while flashing, you could be left with a dead BIOS...

    I asked MSI to remove the Win-flash option again and asked them to add a CDburn option in there to burn from CD if you don't have a flopy-drive.
