END USERS WITH i875P (Canterwood) motherboards are claiming that the latest BIOS from Microstar International (MSI) makes their FIS2R-NEO products like Caesar. Dead.

Reactions on the MSI forum to the problem flashing the BIOS range from mild ire to intense incandescence.

One user said that version 1.3 of the BIOS was intended to fix some problems between mobo and 400MHz DDR memory and remove some high temperature readings.

But after apparently flashing the BIOS, some users find themselves in charge of what appears to be a hefty hunk of expensive real estate that's dead to the world.

There's some comments about this problem here, while the link to the BIOS page can be found here.

We're attempting to get a response from MSI at press time. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
