Crazy. The problem is: Their bios breaks the nvidia drivers. And these guy tells me something about broken eeproms and flashing the wrong bios.
Yes really crazy.Some guys do "hot swap" of EEPROM from one motherboard to an other one when they have broken the BIOS in such a way they can't flash it back.
I've read some guys doing so from one motherbord to an other model. It seeems to work but you ahve to keep the motherboard powered while doing so and the EEPROM have to be the same model.
In your case, probably you got the answer for the question of an other guy...
Rated zero.
Of course
Bye, Ratti
