It seems my system picked up some kind of a "bug" (despite my running AVG anti-virus program). In trying to rid myself of the problem (which had my system crashing at random) one of the things I did was to download an updated BIOS and flash it (which I have successfully done in the past). Now when I try to boot up, nothing happens. No post, nada, zip, zilch. Sooooo... I guess I've fried something beyond recovery. (If anyone has suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.) Anyway, I'm thinking a new motherboard might be the only answer. I have an Athlon XP 1900 processor, and wondered if anyone has suggestions for a good board with built in Raid (used just for extra controller capability, not for a Raid array) that's not real expensive. I've heard good things about Asus, but would like some input on what/where to buy, if anyone has any wisdom to share. (besides don't flash the bios) Thanks in advance.
