flashed a MSI 6119 ver 1.1 bx-2 and now it just hangs at the cpu clock speed i am not even able to get into the bios in any way
at their site it tells of what to do if a flashing goes wrong but it wont even boot so looks like i;m screwed

You have two choices, neither very good. Get a replacement Bios chip from the mfr. or try to find a friend with the identical board and bios chip and do a "hot swap".

hmmm first option seems more the way as no one i know of has this board , so looks like a replacement.
Why mobo manuf cant come up with a better way of resolving this issue is beyond me

They've gotten smart with newer motherboards. Some of them have a burnt in 'failsafe' bios if something goes south. Others just have two bioses (pretty pointless in my opinion).

Order another bios from MSI. It won't cost a lot. I had to get a news bios for my Bh6 mobo when I <strike>fscked up</strike> um overclocked a bus speed too far.

LOL Bio!! you made me spit Diet Coke all over my monitor. That is the funniest damn story I ever heard. Might try hot swappin' processors...that little ZIF socket has a handle for a reason.

bios chips come out pretty easy. A cpu on the other hand does not (hot swapped a video card on a compaq deskpro... no fans, lights busted in the front, couldn't tell, iam4u2nv said it was off, and amazingly it worked)
