    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded the bios update for my dell vostro1320 for windows 7 x64 (from dell website) and ran the setup. During the installation the system stopped working (while the setup was
    flashing the bios!!!) and I couldn't do anything even turning off by pressing and holding the power key! So I turn it off by removing the battery! But now the bios isn't working anymore and I can't load anything on my computer.
    I need your help.
    Best regards...

    This sounds unfortunately bad... I guess just sending it to Dell to reflash the bios... Did you use a bootable CD in order to flash the new bios? Sometimes you can find solutions to flash the bios while you are in windows environment, but I don't like them, I always prefer to make a bootable CD. Hope you can fix.
