well early post today. why? i am still awake.
I went to the office where my servers are stored to do a memory upgrade on a client server. Well I noticed “Hey his bios is old, i’ll do an upgrade it should help with his speed issues” well that was a mistake. The disk I used to flash the bios was bad or the new memory was bad, or something entirey different. SOOOO I killed the client board.
So first thought “O-MY-GOD” so I decided to take a small side bar and pray about it, because this was not a solution at 1am I as planing to make, I thought “lets put this memory in, life is good, everyones happy, chuck gets sleep.
Well it hit me, my NS2 is the same board
so after a quick shutdown, and reboot with the client hard drive powering my NS2 life was once again happy!
So now I have no NS2, but a lot of good hardware sitting around. Anyone know any tips for restoring bad BIOS? or a company that isnt going to charge me the motherboard’s worth and a half.
Any leads are appriciated, as for this man, I am off to the land of Zzzz.
Have you tried putting the bios stuff on a new disk? That *could* work. Or if you pass on the motherboard model on, I could try to find info on what a new BIOS would cost (I’ve seen some go for around $30-$40).
