Yesterday I tried to update my BIOS using the BIOS flash update thing.
Went to the ASUS support page, downloaded latest BIOS version (which was about 4-5 versions abone the currently installed), saved it on hard drive, ran ASUS Flash Update program and told it to install the new BIOS I had just downloaded on to my desktop.
All looked good, computer installed it and said it needed to re-start.... Now whenever I boot up;
1. Computer beeps due to chip fan failure, (which was fixed after pressing 'Delete' while booting and disabling the Chip Fan alarm.
2. The real problem is that after it clears this and I am asked to start windows either
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with CMD
Most recent settings that Worked
Normal
None of the above ever get me into Windows, in all cases the computer gets a split-second flash of a blue screen, and an automatic reboot which inevitably leads me back to square 1
I have tried doing that POST jump thing where I remove the battery and switch the blue pin thing to the alternate location i.e. 1 pin across, for 10 mins and then placing battery back and putting pins back to original position, but all I get is a boot up with the computer beeping again about the Chip Fan and nothing has changed.
Unfortunatley, I live in the Middle East and the only customer help I can get is from the ASUS support in America via telephone, which costs ALOT of money when calling from a mobile!
Would like to see if there is anything I can do myself, with your help before I start calling LOOOOONG distance
Any help would be greatly appreciated
