    Bios

    Ever have a machine shut down in the middle of flashing a Bios? I don't recommend it.

    Yup brand new Asus board. The bas part is I lose 2 days of output of an X2 3800. Worked all afternoon building it. Asus is going to overnight me a chip in the morning.

    Since your getting a new one I recommend hot swapping them and flashing the bad 1 so you'll have a back up for the future...
