| A computer that I'm trying to get up and running will no longer boot. It's an old Win XP machine with 512MB of SDRAM and a 20GB HD drive, all of which is tacked on a crappy MSI K8MM3-V motherboard. I've been told that I should flash the BIOS when this happens, but I don't know how I can do this I can't even get it to boot the POST screen? |

Well if you could get to POST or boot into the OS, you wouldn't need to flash it in the first place, would you now? 
There are several methods of flashing your BIOS, most of which require that you download the new version from your mobo's manufacturer's site (in your case MSI) and to either a floppy disk or USB drive. This drive you will then use to boot up from, and follow the instructions onscreen.
