Hi,
I looked on the box but could not see a REV on their, however its not until I found this forum I was aware of the BIOS Version number format. I will take a look when I get back from work.
So as far as BIOS version, currently I am not sure as I cannot boot the machine
but an interesting point.
I am guessing its already been covered off else where in the Forum, but to save time I will ask "Again.." How does one upgrade the BIOS when it appears to be dead in the water ? is there a special button press or method ?
I will lift the CPU tonight and take a good look. I am prity confident that will be okay, but I will re-check. Heck its only a little spot of Compound to clean off and put some more on!
The CPU connector is defently attached and passing power.
I will update in a couple of hours (finish work VERY soon (after 12hrs)) and a nice 1.25hr drive home.
If possible do Gigabyte mark the PCB with the Bios Rev, or at least mark the EEprom?
Thank for the reply anyway
