Problem:
I went through the setup exactly as follows at this link: http://www.ecs.com.tw/download/flash_ami.htm

My computer rebooted as part of step 3.
I have nothing after that...
Just a black screen and 1 short beep followed by two beeps shortly after...
thats it....

I can't do anything!!!

Anyone have any suggestions besides the obvious flash my cmos... take out my cmos battery?????


Help would be really nice :)

Did you try resetting the cmos?

If still no go try and remove the battery. That has helped me on some boards.
