Jetway 939-GT4-SLi-G latest BIOS bad?

[roddo]

Hi guys,

I bought the above motherboard a couple of weeks back for a new system I'm building, and all went well till I tried to flash with the latest BIOS hehe. The flash went fine, no problems there, done it many times before on previously build PCs. Went to restart, no display - though system powers up and keyboard lights up.

The motherboard has an LCD display with error codes - it is currently displaying 29 which - quote from manual - does:

Initialise video interface - Read CMOS location 14h to find out video in use. Detect and initialise video adapter.

Now, the question is, is this BIOS bad? Has the flashed failed? Or has this somehow affected my video card, a nice new 7800GT? Anyone else has success with the latest BIOS?

Any help would be much appreciated

I had the exact same issue happen with mine, diagnostic code 29 on reboot after flashing with BIOS A03 downloaded from Jetway. I had to RMA the board and get a new one. Needless to say I did not flash to the new BIOS and am running version A02 that came with the board.

My video card is a brand new XFX 7800 GTX so perhaps there is an issue with 7800 GT* and that BIOS?
