adrift

Last Friday, my AV8 3rd Eye started beeping right away (again), as I turned the PC on. This time was one time to often. So I went and flashed the BIOS version from 2.4 to 2.7 (newest, and frankly FINAL version), until then I neglected to do so, because the last version was rumored to have new problems too, beside the fixes. But I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore/nothing to loose. The flash was successful (yeah he’s a real hero) and no new problems arose, as always, I shut all the devilish beeping options down (in the BIOS settings). I also went all the way (did a CMOS reset and so on…), just to make sure (none of the old settings would survive and I had my real fresh start). That would have made a nice ending, but this mercy was obviously too much to ask. Today the same FUCK happened again. The board is “so old” now, that there will be no newer BIOS version anymore, meaning it’s safe to say by now that this problem will exist FOREVER. Besides that, Abit made a good mainboard. Thanks.
