badflash.com rules. but if you want to try hotflashing yourself, I suggust
you google that term. Ive done it, its very easy and quick - providing you
have another similar-chipset mobo handy. If not, you can also make yourself
a bootdisk with its own autoexec.bat which auto-runs the default or upgraded
bios file on the same disk, then remove the offending machines videocard and
boot. Sensing no card, the machine should check the floppy and de-lobotomise
itself with some luck

Tried updating my A7V8X-X BIOS to 1010 the other day. Flash failed
when it was trying to verify the new BIOS, and now all I get is a
rapid "clicking" noise through the speaker when I turn the system on.
No POST.

Wondering if anyone has an idea of how I might be able to recover this
thing. I'm assuming that since I'm getting the noise through the
speaker, that the BIOS isn't totally hosed. I just want to find out
what I can try to get the thing going again, or if I should just screw
it and get a new BIOS from badflash.com.

I tried contacting ASUS, but apparently they take forever to answer
inquiries.

Thanks.
