    FYI for everone who tried the Beta BIOS from DFI. It seems that it works for some boards and not others. On the three boards I have now tested it on it works, on a forum member's board it didn't seem to.

    Good going DFI...

    I had to flash the bios but now after the flash the system doesn't post it gives a 01 code on the led. I am pissed now.

    After a successful flash? Have you tried another GPU?

    I use my nvidia card when I flashed the bios.. after I flashed the motherboard to the beta bios the motherboard now does not post.

    I used my usb flash drive with dos on it to upgrade the motherboard bios.
