HP MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) 5.27 With Unlocked Overclocking Options

[Tashigi]

I'm quite confused. I'd hold of doing anything more and explain it to me so no damage is incurred.

Too late! Board locked up the moment bios installed. Won't boot with the original AMD2 (Athlon 5000+) nor with the AMD3 (Phenom II 555 BE) processors.
I'll tinker with it some more later after getting a new board. Will up date later.

Did you clear your CMOS? Didd you follow the award flashing procedure on the first page? Didd you attempt recovery in the award BIOS recovery page?

Please everyone hold off flashing immediatly. Obviously there is some kind of confusion on the flashing procedure. Please wait til my testing team has adequate time to confirm what's going on before we sratch more boards.

My Nettle2 died

Recovery not work... Floppy dont flash...

By the way, i'll buy a new MCP61.. but AM3

Your nettle2 isn't dead, just the image on the bios chip isn't jiving with it. Nobody should have flashed this release unless they had a backup chip. If you have another board with the same bios socket you could boot that board up and force flash a stable version of the nettle2 bios on it, shut down , remove the chip and put it into your "dead Nettle2 board" and it will once again work. Or simply send your chip in and have it flashed for you with the last stable version. But I assure you that your motherboard is just fine.

Apparently there was some confusion among our team on beta revision numbers, and the revision submitted to you guys was not the one tested and reported working. Again, this is why I stressed waiting till test results were posted.

Now, this one time only you guys can send me your BIOS chips and I will reprogram it with the ABIT BIOS which will breath life back into your system. Read the chip reprogramming page for details.

Readers: The ABIT BIOS still stands as 100% stable without one reported flash failure. This is the certified BIOS found on the first page.

I live in Brazil... How much cost to send to you, to reflash...?

Id happily do it but your probably better off messaging TheWiz - US is bound to be cheaper than Australia

[Tashigi]

Very generous of you to offer us a reflash but I was awared of the chances, thank you for the offer though
Oh and yes, I tried all of your suggestions shortly after it locked up. I followed the correct process as well to flash it.

Hey guys, as I've posted, I got an Phenom II x4 9650 and I can't return it. I am thinking about to get a motherboard to install it and of course I want to overclock that CPU, to at least 2700 (it's 2300). I've checked: Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard - AMD 785G, ATI Hybrid CrossFireX, PCIe 2.0, USB 2.0, RAID, HDMI, DVI, VGA, AM2+, and I think I can keep everything that I have in my PC. Do you think it'll be alright? If not, which one do you recommend?

Well I'd try to give us a couple more days if possible, we found an ECS built ROM that has full AM3 support that I will personally test to ensure it is working.

For people who need their chip reflashed, if you can prepay the shipping to and fro thats the cost

Edu_eduh, You can either hold off and see what this BIOS brings about or I'll post some links to your PM.

Thanks,
TheWiz
