flashed a MSI 6119 ver 1.1 bx-2 and now it just hangs at the cpu clock speed i am not even able to get into the bios in any way
at their site it tells of what to do if a flashing goes wrong but it wont even boot so looks like i;m screwed

You have two choices, neither very good. Get a replacement Bios chip from the mfr. or try to find a friend with the identical board and bios chip and do a "hot swap".
hmmm first option seems more the way as no one i know of has this board , so looks like a replacement.
Why mobo manuf cant come up with a better way of resolving this issue is beyond me

They've gotten smart with newer motherboards. Some of them have a burnt in 'failsafe' bios if something goes south. Others just have two bioses (pretty pointless in my opinion).
???????????????? would you actually want to eat your cat greg? god I know where that little sh!t has been, and no way would I eat him (though his nickname is catburger)
but back on topic DON'T HOT SWAP YOUR BIOS CHIP! been there, f'd that up royally.
Order another bios from MSI. It won't cost a lot. I had to get a news bios for my Bh6 mobo when I <strike>fscked up</strike> um overclocked a bus speed too far.
LOL Bio!! you made me spit Diet Coke all over my monitor. That is the funniest damn story I ever heard. Might try hot swappin' processors...that little ZIF socket has a handle for a reason.

bios chips come out pretty easy. A cpu on the other hand does not (hot swapped a video card on a compaq deskpro... no fans, lights busted in the front, couldn't tell, iam4u2nv said it was off, and amazingly it worked)
