Hi all sorry for cross posting but this is a big screw up (it is on a pc so no wonder) I have a Tyan Trinity KT - A motherboard in my 18 year old sons PC, I tried to flash the bios, and the utility hung solid. I can still boot with a bios checksum error, but the flash upgrade, will not run as the chips header has been destroyed, so it thinks it is not an award bios chip. Any ideas ??? Or am I up for a new MB and needing to copy the flash chip in an external programmer ??? Regards, Kat (in desperation mode as 18 year old males get pissed off easily) ____________________________________________________________________________ /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | K.A.Q.
