I removed the CMOS for about nearly 2+ hours, and i got started again. Any guess on why this issue is??
I also tried for a BIOS update. I used the .exe file option (Express upgrade). I was unable to see any screen, as shown in step 6 on express upgrade guide (http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-023357.htm). But i got the Step 7 message stating that the update was successful.
Also, will the overheating of CPU / any other component block the loading of BIOS ?
