Hi Guys,
I am new here to this forum and i really hope you can help me out here.
If you take a look at this topic: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic14002.html you will see a description that looks a lot like my problem.
The only thing different is that I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NS-939 motherboard.
I have used Bios Flash files before on other motherboards and experienced no problems... but as of 2 days ago, the problems began.
I'll start with the beginning:
I was playing Battle Field 2 when suddenly my pc crashed into a BSOD.
I rebooted the machine and it worked again...then after a few minutes again a BSOD, but now when i rebooted it said the Windows\System folder was not accessible or missing. I should repair this with the Windows Installation CD.
So i did. Repairing worked according to Windows, reboot, same error message.
I ended up with a complete re-installation of Windows, no problem there since my pc was getting a little bit slower and reinstallation was inevitable in the near future.
But then the second problem came. My Videocard (ASUS A9250-128 MB) did not have the right drivers so i installed them. Still i couldn't play Battlefield2 which made me sad. I had tried everything else but nothing worked.
So, someone mentioned a Bios Flash. I had done that before on other motherboards with success so i thought, piece of cake, done in 2 minutes.
Bios Update F6 downloaded from the Gigabyte site, after the DOS-installation my pc rebooted saying my Memory modules had changed from Dual Memory to Single Memory....What the??
After initializing the Hard drives and my cd-rom and DVD-R player it comes to the point of looking if there is a bootable CD-rom-disc in either of my players.
If there is, it will boot from CD, and if there isn't Windows will startup.
But just at that point my computer started to reboot and retry the whole process again.
So tonight i tried to flash the Bios again (untill now i still could access the Bios with DEL-key), flashed it again with Version F8 found on Gigabyte site.
That's the point where i am now, if i reboot the machine now (after the Bios Flash succeeded message) it doesn't show anything anymore, i can't use my keyboard to go into Bios, nothing!
I tried to reset my CMOS with the three "soldered" points on my MB, but also that doesn't do the trick. I removed the battery and tried it again but still no luck.
Here are my specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-K8NS-939
Proc. AMD Athlon64 3000+
2 x Kingston Dimm 512 MB DD400
I think i have to look for another motherboard but hope someone can tell me what to do.
Thanks!
