I'll just blame it on my keyboard,
I think my underscore key is broke :devil:
I've had very few problems with flashing bioses on major brand boards.
I use the only known proven technique. Using a clean boot disk with nothing else but the bios file and the flashing utility program. With older PII, PIII, pentium 1 boards and assorted AMD boards, I generally disable anything in the bios related to caching or shadowing bios. I even successfully flashed rom's in CDRW's. I have never updated a bios through the web update feature.
The only time I might worry is if there is major storm in progress. That can be risky.
I love some motherboards like Gigabyte with their dual backup bios feature to reduce the chance of a flash going bad.
Computers should always be connected through battery backup units. They are dirt cheap these days and eliminate any power-related worries. I have flashed quite a lot of mobos, but never had a problem.
Though I doubt I have flashed as many BIOS's as most here I have never had a problem with a BIOS flashing... knock on wood now because the fact that I said that means the next one I do will go wrong, FUBAR'n whatever it is I am working on!Quote:

Uninterupable power supploes are fairly inexpensive, now days. I have one on my bench which I use when setting up a new pc. it's saved my bacon on a couple of occasions.Quote:
