    Hi all,

    I'm not sure if that's the right place to post that. In any case any help would be highly appreciated.

    I had one of the usual (as I found out) conflicts, and tried to upgrade the bios. Tried once without problems but the conflict was there again. Then I tried with a different bios and... all went black. It just switches on but there is a black screen and nothing happens.

    I don't have a floppy drive, and I tried to follow various instructions for usb sticks but with no luck. Could you please explain (with as much details you can) what should I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    Why always the BIOS for crying in a bucket??

    It should be the last thing you try. Ever.
