Default dual BIOS - what is it good for?


I have a GA-M750SLI-DS4 with booting problems.
When switched on, you just see the hard drive light blinking,
no beeps, no display. The sort of thing you might get if you
flashed BIOS with wrong code.
If I short the clear-CMOS jumpers (with the power [hard] off),
then it will boot, once only. I turn it off, then it plays
possum again on next boot. I replaced battery, and the one I took
out it was fine.
I am using onboard VGA and have no PCI cards.
So it seems I have some sort of corruption that the dual BIOS
feature does not cure.

Sounds like whatever problem you have, it's not with a bad flash, which
is likely all that your dual-BIOS implementation can help.

It's possible that the BIOS data area isn't stored redundantly (and it
doesn't need to be, since the jumper bypasses configuration related
problems in this area) and is physically damaged, or it's possible that
you have an unrelated problem entirely.
