I have a g-81k1100 that will not boot, I'm trying to flash the bios because i know there was a problem with the intel processors... only problem is that it boots when it wants to... which seems like never, it does have 2 bios, so I wondering if there was a way to boot it from the other bios which isn't altered. or just a trick anyone know of to get it to boot again.

How did you get 2 BIOS into the same motherboard? Generally motherboard only allow 1 BIOS and when you flash it with another version, the old version gets erased and the only way to revert back to the old BIOS is to reflash with the same version of that BIOS... As far as BIOS goes, I would take out all the components and only plug in CPU, 1 stick of RAM, hard drive and a video card to see if the system boots. Booting problem can be caused by other components like bad HD, IDE cable, video card, RAM... etc..

Normanlly powering ON the computer and pressing <Del> immediately will allow you to enter your BIOS Setup. If you require more advanced BIOS settings, you can go to the "Advanced BIOS" setting menu. by pressing "Ctrl+F1" key on the BIOS screen.

Since your board utilizes the Dual BIOS Technology that means, you can switch to the motherboard's 'Backup BIOS' if your 'Main BIOS' suddenly becomes corrupted, damaged or fails.

The Dual BIOS/Q-Flash functions are accessible by pressing the <F8> key after you get into the BIOS to enter Dual BIOS console and there you can set the BIOS to boot from.
