I hate to say this once again. BIOS flashing is always a risky affair. It has become too easy these days. With links on the Internet etc.

Not too long ago, a BIOS flash was only done under extreme conditions by qualified folks who determined 'after loads of troubleshooting' that the BIOS was indeed to blame for the PC's problems. And nothing else. Nowday's, anybody with a PC and an Internet connection can attempt a BIOS flash. Without really understanding the principles, risks involved and so on. Corrupt BIOS = DEAD Computer. Generally, the BIOS is the very last thing you try fixing (or fiddling with) after determining nothing else is at fault when the comp wont boot. Shoot me down.

And tell my thinking is wrong. I will not take any offence Cheers. TeeJay, Fully agree - at least now after I went through the 'near dead' experience with my Laptop. The thing is, one only comes across postings like yours, when it's too late and one is desperately searching the Internet for a fix. Postings like yours should be made ‘sticky’ in front of every Bios related topic. In my particular case I hoped to come a step closer in resolving the ‘100% CPU during games’ problem – after endless trials with all sorts of different driver packages, tweaks, etc.

But as you said it, never ever touch the Bios – it’s simply not worth the risk. Cheers Frank. Hi bbdiop, You have to install and run the file 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.exe' from the Phoenix recovery tools from post #8 on another, still working computer.;-) This tool will format your USB Stick and turn it into a bootable device. As mentioned I my earlier post #10, I used the Phlash16 which comes with the zip-package 3a30.zip from support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads. So once you have done all the steps in the 'HowTo.txt' from the Phoenix recovery file, copy the Phlash16.exe from the above zip-package to the USB Stick and edit the autoexec.bat on the USB Stick as follows: PHLASH16 bios.WPH /mode=3 /X Besides other things, this version lets you know its actually doing something by beeping distinctivly for about 20 seconds. If your machine reboots by itself after 20 seconds and the screen comes back, you know you had a compatible bios version, if not, try the next older one. In my case booting from the USB Stick only worked after I disconnected the hard drive, I guess that is because in the bios the boot sequence was set to 'hard drive' first.
