>.< i know that feeling...happened on my first laptop...flash it with the wrong bios bc i was thinking that sense it was a re-banded MSI Laptop a MSI Bios would work. That was over 5 years ago. But yeah best bet is to try for the warranty. Hmm...speaking of bios, i didn't know that my bios is 2 versions out-of-date...already updated it 3 times sense i got the thing. clay > > -- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel i5 750 quad-core 2.6ghz OC@xxxxxx 6GB DDR3 PC3-8500G mem P7P55 WS SUPERCOMPUTER motherboard 2 nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX 512mb, SLI enabled 320GB WD3200 HD Creative X-Fi gamer sound card
