Flashed my bios from 05/02/08 to 03/17/08 via usb today, and you guessed it, dead board. Had all defaults set with only a tad bit of cpu volts to make sure it flashed ok. Long story short, I got the 88 post code after the F1 reboot and that looped about 4 times, just an endless loop after popping the battery for about an hour and shorting the cmos jumper. No post code at all. Fun stuff

Anyone got a spare bios chip they could sell me? LMK
