The Byter over at Overclockers.com has posted his experience of what to do, when your nForce2 motherboard BIOS goes bad!
It all started with me getting two mobos for reviewing, the EPOX 8RGA+ and the CHAINTECH 7NJS0 (both Nforce2 based). I started testing the 8RGA+ and at a certain point, it just stopped posting. Clearing the BIOS did not help - it just gave FF debug code on the port 80 display.
I gave up on it and hooked the 7NJS0; after playing with it a while, it gave the well known C1 debug code. After checking CHAINTECH site, I found out that the new BIOS takes care of that problem? but I can't post in order to flash it? what can I do?
