MSI Motherboards - Fucking useless
So I managed to brick my computer on Tuesday night.
Ran a BIOS update, which reported success, rebooted and it now gets halfway through the POST before rebooting.
No backup BIOS, no Gigabyte-esque Dual BIOS, no automatic recovery. Nada.
After googling around a bit, I found a section of MSI's website, not linked to from the BIOS download page or any other part of their support site that I could find, with BIOS recovery instructions, which do not work.
In 10 years or so of messing around with computers and doing BIOS updates I have never had any problems at all, even when I really should have done - you'd think that these days the whole process would be a little more efficient that having to boot off a floppy and run it from the command line. Every other mobo manufacturer seems to have mastered Windows BIOS Updates, except MSI apparently.
So now I've had to order a new motherboard (Not MSI, never again) and go without a proper PC for most of the week, which is annoying and expensive.
Bastards.
