    Question incomplete bios installation, please help

    for starters, the motherboard is an Abit sr7-8x.

    we used the flashmenu application. We proceeded to let the program download and install the appropriate bios. After it had finished deleting his current bios, it started to install the updated version. the computer froze when it reached 32% completion. so we restarted the computer and now we cant even get a boot up screen, the motherboard has like no bios to run from now.

    how could we fix this?

    all help appreciated, thanks.

    there is a way to force a flash, but your gonna have to ask abit about that one. other than that, your screwed. if you cant re-flash it, your gonna have to buy a new bios chip and install that, or send the whole mobo back to abit and have them do it.
