Hello. Yesterday I tried to update into 2.15.11 from 1.00.01 using Flash dl'ed from this site. On the first run, PC restarted several times, so I decided to change the ROM version. And as I had a 2.15.09, i flashed it (IDIOT :((). No restarts here, but a total freeze at the first frame of boot screen. And no original ROM too.

Somehow I managed to run Safe Mode With Networking with Delayed Transaction ON. Dl'ed 1.00.01 ROM, flashed it, but that didn't help. I thought it was the driver's fault (Amigamerlin 2.5 SE + 3dfx Tools @ standard options: 143 Mhz etc.). It wasn't. I changed a whole lot of XP drivers for VooDoo 3 2000 deleting the 3dfx entry in registry. No sense. Any kind of coloured Windows-Like image leads to freeze. But somehow it works in SM. An infotool in DOS says AGP is disabled.

For now i'm sitting in Safe Mode with no drivers/2.15.11-SD BIOS ROM. My motherboard is DTK PRM-0080E1-2A69KD1K @ 440bx, there's surely no problem with any part of PC, except for VC (or MB?).

Would someone please tell me how to act now?
