There are many ways to try and recover from Bios death. The Nforce chipset will bootstrap to the floppy if no video card is installed. This will allow you to flash a completely dead bios. Take everything off the board except the floppy, CPU and memory, insert a floppy with AWDFLASH and the bios file, then turn on, watch the floppy light, when it goes out, reboot. IF the floppy light doesn't come on at all, then you will need to manually reflash. (Unless you secretly WANT it to be dead so you can get something new!!!)

I will do my research again and find all the information, (I threw it all out when I got the Bios Savior) If you know anyone with an A7N8X DELUXE, then you can do a hotflash, use their chip to boot, leave machine running, insert your chip, reflash it, and away you go!!!

If for any reason you don't want to muck with it, pack your Bios chip up, send it my way, and I'll reflash it on the Savior. OR, send the whole board, I'll flash and send it right back.
