Have you tried both," restore default settings" in the BIOS and resetting the BIOS by removing the motherboard battery? Remember to reset the date and time when removing the battery

removing the battery was the first thing i tryed and was what made it boot in the first place but the defalt settings dont work it refuses to start but i didnt set the clock i didnt know that was manditory but didint help eather

I think if you tell us the make/model of that systemboard, and the CPU, we may be able to help further if you still are having a problem.

motherbord=tusl-lv cpu is a 1.2 ghz celleron

Just curious, where did you download the flash program?

http://www.bios-drivers.com/drivers/277/277438.htm i think

Is it safe to assume that this is from an old Sony? What model? What OS was on it? I found this on Sony's site for your model mobo.

That is from the same system , it is a PCV-RX450 but the only ones i could find on that site were programs for xp or me and i was runing 98

You can use the one for ME The BIOS has nothing to do with the OS,per se. The OS will take advantage of what is written in the BIOS. For example CD drivers come to mind
