In the Try to BOOT by some means to flash the BIOS, i ran into my Dell Diagnostic Disk.
I ran all the Tests.
And It shows Error in the L2 Cache(Multiprocessor) , L2 Cache( Singleprocessor) is ok.
What does that mean?
The Test is to check whether both the processors read the same data from a particular memory block. But which memory block? The RAM ? Is L2 Cache the same as RAM?

And there are no tests for ram.

Ya, do not flash it. If you cannot even boot. If the flash is botched, you will get a bricked board.

Resetting the CMOS is different to BIOS reset. Try it.
