When you flashed the bios did you wait til it said bios flashed successfully and then reboot?

bios

yup it said bios update finished then said reboot or something to that affect so i did and then when it was suppose to reboot nothing happened

You may have used the wrong BIOS image to update, rendering your MB into an attractive doorstop. FWIW, this is why I tell people to only update the BIOS if you're fixing a real problem, not just to "be current".

help

im possitive i used the right bios image cuz i went to the asus site found my mobo then clicked the downloads for it then downloaded the bios from that page. could it be the fact that i used a beta bios??

When I flashed the latest bios (1012 I think) to my A7V8X, just to be current, I lost all mouse control; the cursor just sat there in the middle of the screen.

Thankfully I saved the old bios.

I put the known good bios, on a floppy, and used ASUS EZ-flash to reinstal it. Hold down alt, F2 during boot, to launch EZ flash. You'll have to know the exact path, and file name of your good bios. The file name must be DOS, short.
