  • Need help with G200 BIOS

    I have a MGA-G200 that propably has the BIOS somehow screwd up...
    The problem is that the card won't output anything during post.

    The motherboard is the Asus P5A with Ali Alladin V chipset.

    I tried updating the BIOS with the BIOS utility but it gives an error: Unable to get eeprom information.

    The BIOS at the moment is 2.3-11 according to the utility

    I also tried running the diagnostic tool and it gave the following error: Primary BIOS not identified

    And no, I do not have a BIOS recovery disk...sorry

    Is there any way to repair the damage that has been done?

      No luck with bios recovery disk

      Tried the BIOS recovery disk and recognizes the g200 ok but says: flash failed..

      I'm starting to think that the card is useless...

      I'm open to any suggestions though
