It's almost Wed already, geez. Yesterday I was messing w/ my desktop and I had something happen that I never thought I would: my computer shut down half way through flashing the BIOS. It was a random event, I was in Windows and something caused the machine to shut down. Obviously that renders it useless until the BIOS is reprogrammed. Located the EPROM chip on the motherboard, pulled it and sent it to BIOSMAN in CA. Should be easy to re-write, all you need is a $300 device to do so. Not a bad business model, at $20 a pop very easy to recover original costs.
