    Hey guys, I've had my g60Jx with an I7 for a while now, and it's run really well until recently. I started to get a BSOD and decided I would flash the bios. So I went to the site, downloaded the lastest bios update (2.08) and used the easy flash in the bios. After it was done, I booted up, but all I see is a black screen. The lights are on, my mouses lights are on, but I just see a black screen. Not sure what to do, any help would be apprciated.

    It sounds like a bad flash. If you flash from the internal hard disk instead of a freshly formatted FAT flash drive this can happen. You should set up a RMA with ASUS as soon as you can.

    Is there no way to restore the bios to factory default, or reset the CMOS on the mobo?
