boot problem on ep-4sda+ after bios flash--HELP!!!

[anime]

It was a successfull flash. It went thru fine with no error or auto reboot. After I finished I reboot then I could not get any video at all--the post code show "02" which is reserved when I looked at the code list. And now I'm pissed and running out of idea on what to do. Tried to clear cmos jumper--no good. Tried to set the dipswitch too-no good. Tried taking out everything only cpu, vid card and ram left--still no good. ALways post code 02 and stuck there.

Anyone can help me? or gimme suggestion. I already e-mailed support@epox.com-dunno how long they will respond.

Had a similar scare on a different board. Prepare another boot disc with the bios upgrade on a 9X machine. Make SURE you let the bios package auto-extract to the floppy. Start the computer with the bios upgrade disc in place. Should reflash even if you can't see what is going on. When the computer restarts, shut down, clear the bios via the jumper, and come up again using default bios settings. If successful, you can then restart and set any bios customizations. This worked for me.

One other thing to try... pull out the battery.

Check that you have an RPM-reporting fan connected to the CPU Fan header. IIRC, the new 4SDA BIOS has the CPU Fan/Shutdown protection option enabled by default. No fan=no start. Common occurence with watercooled rigs.
