Got one called JBAT1 which is the one that resets the CMOS
If you talking if it halts during ..... bios update god knows, somehow have a backup of the old one they say.
But if you put in the wrong processor settings and it doesnt put up there should be a key you can hold down when it restarts to reset the settings.
personally i wouldnt do bios flashing... unless its necessary.

Best case scenario - you reset the CMOS jumper, and try again
Worst case scenario - your motherboard is now an attractive wall motif, perhaps forcing a processor/RAM/case/PSU/hard disk/graphics card upgrade

all that does is sets the bios back to defaults it won't give you the options you need for overclocking, it is possible that a bios update won't either but you don't know unless you try.
Or as i said try using softfsb.

Thats the whole point... if he updates his bios and can overclock but after a few settings his pc wouldn't boot up he needs to know how to reset to defaults settings :p
I think I will just leave it, as it all sounds a bit risky. But thanks for your help all, especialy AMD_MAN, and I now have my motherboard manual, which I didn't have before, so I have gained a very important thing that will help me upgrade my PC.
ye it is simple to do.

On the 9700 Pro VS GF FX debate I would go for the 9700 not because of any dislike of nVidia, (1I hope to get a GF4 Ti when the prices come down) but because the FX is 70dB!!YES 70!!!
THAT IS LOUD!!
A 4800SE should handle any game in the near future BTW. I hope to get an original 4400 or 4600 soon, if the price is right, my motherboard doesn't support AGP8x so getting on of the new ones is pointless.

Er no it's not. Just buy a Chaintek FX. Not only does it have bl00 LEDs, but it's a mere 30db.
The nVidia one is 70dB and the heatsink on the back was recorded at being a cool 78 degrees!
