Follow the instructions very carefully, and don't switch off or reboot until you are completely sure the job is done! Good luck, Martin And as silly as it sounds, watch the weather! I tried to flash the bios on a gigabyte DS3 a couple of weeks ago, to get better performance with my shiny new Quad Core. It was raining outside, but I din't think anything of it. Half way through writing the new bios, there was a flash of lightning, and the house lights flickered. The PC tried to reboot, and failed. And failed. And failed. Ended up costing me for a new motherboard :-( Ah well, at least I learned something! Alan Woodford UPS UPS UPS One word UPS. They have saved me so much money and saved me so much headache. Spend $100 US and get a nice one. The cheap ones break within a year. I use to have a lot of issues with Operating systems and hard ware and a lot of it was related to the power coming into my pc. A UPS fixed the problem. the USP also keeps my system from getting fried. by the way WOW you have some nice toys I have been wondering why someone would need a Quad Core processor. I can't even max out my Core2 Duo except when running SETI.
