Hello everyone.
I have a problem. I was trying to install videocard on another computer and thought that changing biosettings according to chipset would help. I downloaded the options and a program that Updates my biosettings according to the chipset. When I updated it, and restarted my computer, all it does is, everything turns on (fans, memory, everything is fine, but nothing is shown on screen.) The screen is black and the computer has continuos LONG beeps and there is nothing i can do. I tried resetting cmost settings by taking out battery from motherboard but it didn't work.

Any suggestions are welcome,
thanks in advance.

sorry there is nothing we can do, unless you can find another board and swap bios, although some boards are fixed straight to the board and cant be removed, what bored is it exactly?

ITs a TForce 6100, and the motherboard can be removed. IS flashing an option?

not the motherboard it self needs flashing, its a little removable chip (i think)

but to be honest, i have just searched google for it and i found it for £13, dont know what the prices are there, but its a cheap board so it would be easier to replace it with a new one

EDIT: sorry that was memory my mistake

to be honest, the easy way maybe is to just get a new board

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BIOS-Chip-BIOS...em380060279356

but it maybe cheaper in the end just to get a new board.

mb just some badass old bios settings bugging the new firmware.

disconnect power cable, remove the battery and put it in the wrong way. wait a few seconds, and put it in the correct way.

connect power cables again and pray a little:)

look up the beep codes for your mb, that's what they are for but you most likely corrupted your cmos and thus will need a cmos chip. like the others i would say go for a new mb and try to use as many parts again as possible.
