Even going back the what Dan originally posted as the error confirms my suspicion:

Plus, on this page I get different numbers:
http://www.biostar.com.tw/support/bi...U8668-D%20v7.x

This: u8668dr33.exe should be the latest bios!! UNLESS this: U8668-D v7.6 is not the board we are talking about. Listen, I think we need to be SURE about this now, as dan has already talked about trying with a wrong bios. This could potentially get even worse. To tell the truth, your earlier recommendation of hiring a real tech to do this seems to be the way to go now. Geesh, for something like this I know I wouldn't charge much, plus the tech could make sure about the actuall install AND the m/b. So, unless Dan wants to continue, that's my recommendation. BUT: we NEED to be sure what m/b he has. There are about half a dozen model numbers that closely resemble the one posted. Plus: BIOSTAR is not, imho, very support oriented. Personally I never buy those boards.
