yeah, the BSOD thing is consistent now. I guess I'll call intel if their customer support hours aren't when I leave for school until I get home from school, which they probably are.

why would updating the BIOS make it that much worse off?

fuck intel, if I actually had money I'd break this stupid board and get another one from a different company. and fuck off if you think I should have known that all along. a lot of the boards out now of the same caliber didn't exist when I got this one.

is there a way to just reset the BIOS to its factory state? I assume that's what recovery mode does, but I'm not really sure how to work that. and if it sees I have windows XP and gets to the welcome screen with mouse movement enabled and shit before BSODing, does that mean my OS was corrupted as well? Why would a BIOS update corrupt my OS?

I followed the directions for a BIOS recovery off of a CD (I have no floppy drive) and no image appeared on screen. I have no idea what it's doing no idea if I can turn it off without fucking it up no idea if anything now.

I just turned it off. I'm afraid to put the jumper back in and turn it on
