bad bios flash/bad mobo.
I was out today, and my friend sent me this message saying he has a problem. I'll copy and paste exactly what he said, because hes not online right now, so this is the extent that I know of the problem.
"so I have an MSI K8N Neo2 platinum right now, and the bios version i had was reporting the wrong temperatures, so i went to flash the bios and it was successful and all.
Now when I go to boot my system, it doesn't even POST
the d-bracket suggests its a RAM Problem, and I have 4 x 512mb pc3200 ram, so I tried switching them around, and then only trying to boot with one stick, but it still didn't work.
also when I turn it on it will just continually beep in intervals of about 1 second, so I checked the beep codes for the Award bios and it also indicates a RAM problem..i have to go now, but when I come back im oigng to try some of my brohters RAM"
Once again, I didnt talk to him, he just sent me this and I copied/pasted it on here for you guys to take a look at. any ideas?
Sounds more like a bad bios flash than anything to me
