    Hi

    I bought and installed the chip.When i turned on the cube it showed me a splash screen with Viper logo, it asked me if i want to load the BIOS via usb cable or a dvd-r.Since usb wasn't hooked properly i chose to load it from the dvd(i burned a file on the dvd(cobra16.iso), then when i pressed Y button(which i was asked for)it went all wrong, there was a corrupt picture(random colors), so i switched the cube off.When i turned it on again there was no splash screen, like there was no chip(LED was shining,but that is it).What can i do?Did it die?Please, help me.

    Thanks and regards

    Sounds like you corrupted your chip's BIOS, which could mean your chip is now a paper weight.

    However, I think Viper GC Extreme had a recovery BIOS on it for such cases, but I don't know how to trigger it.
