Man, this is sucking real bad. The other day, one of my computers got hit by a virus that affected the BIOS of the motherboard, I could NOT get the darn thing to boot, except perhaps 1 out of 20 times. Luckily I was able to flash the bios with a new version and saved that machine, but what a pain in the a$h...
The BIOS????
Yikes!
Anymore details on that virus?
Man I haven't heard of that virus for several years now, it used to be prevalent, but has no usefull life span (since it kills most of its victoms), an so has fallen into obscurity. Did you ever learn the name of this virus?
My kid does computer maintenance for a local IT company and told me about the exact same problem on a computer someone brought in for repair a couple of weeks ago.
Good idea to have a motherboard with a dual bios. Eases the problem somewhat.
