Hey guys. I just flashed the BIOS on my motherboard to the current revision. The following is the specifications of the computer -
Abit NF7 Motherboard AMD Athlon 2500+ 512 MB PC-3300 RAM (Not sure if thats the right version) 80GB IBM Deskstar HDD Nvidia GeForce 5200FX I was updating the BIOS using Abit's Windows based FlashMenu software going from NF7 revision 17 to the current version. The flash was successfull and then I went to restart the computer and it doesn't boot up at all. Everything turns on (MB, HDD etc..) but nothing shows up on the screen and I don't hear a system beep at all. I've tried clearing the CMOS through jumper and battery removal but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions? Thanks! -------------------- |

i would say that you flashed your BIOS incorrectly.
 That or theres a short somewhere, but since it lights up, then thats probably not the case. Also, for a really really extreme case, your accidently unplugged your system speaker and your monitor cable isnt connected correctly or your graphics card isnt in all the way. (but that's not likely) |

Is it possible that the new BIOS software is not compatible with one of ur hardwares?
Did u add any new hardware just when u updated BIOS? |

Yep, I'd say it's likely to be a conflict with an existing hardware, unless the firmware was for some reason corrupt.
