    I was updating the bios when the system locked up unresponsive for hours. I powered down and now system will not boot. Screen stays black HDD light flashes, All lights come on, CD rom/HDD spins. It will not post to bios at all.

    I was informed that I may need a new motherboard. I was also told that if One had the original bios file not the update one could be able to repair it. I am asking here if anyone has this so I can get my system back up without buying a new motherboard.

    Any help would be grateful.

    Thanks.
