Hi,
I have (had) a working A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo. For some reason, I woke up one morning and the computer wouldn't boot. I did all the MS Windows based stuff and eventually found something when wrong with the Bios so I tried updating it.
I followed: http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/ technicaldocuments_content.aspx?no=532&SLanguage=en-us and downlaoded everything off the site.
It got to the point of wring the Bios and it got to the bottom right few blocks and it just stopped. As it says not to switch it off, I left the machine on from 9am Saturday to 9pm Sunday and nothing had changed! I went to have a shower and my dad in his wisdom switched it off.
Now when I switch computer on - I can fan going and hard drive whirring but that's about it.
Can anyone help me - best just to upgrade now? I did read "If your system does not reboot, please consult with your local ASUS dealers or contact ASUS Hotline." but I was hoping someone managed to work around this.
Thanks,
JJ
