Answer» Quote these usually don't get along with drivers. You don't want anything sitting in your ems /xms memory. Firstly thanks for all the responces I have done quite an amount of trawling round the internet as you may imagine and im aware that you can kill your motherboard if you dont do this procedure correctlty. The instructions i was following was the ONES from the mannual that came with the M/board I also have looked on the Asus site to see what they have reguarding instructions or files. I have downloaded the latest Bin file for the Bios that coresponds to my board.IVE also made sure that its the RIGHT file for my PCB version of the board.Ive also downloaded the latest Flash utility.My board is an old board so as you can imagine the support is not that good. My board is an Asus A7N8X deluxe and the PCB revision is 1.04.The old bios bin file is AW1001C the one ive downloaded is AN8D1009 Just one more thing to add Ive also heard that flashing from WINDOWS is a risky way to do this so I dont concider this an optionThe bios can only be flashed at boot. Any .exe run from windows will reboot the system and then update the bios.Without re-reading the entire THREAD why are we flashing the BIOS anyways ? ?Quote from: patio on January 08, 2010, 04:24:19 PM Without re-reading the entire thread why are we flashing the BIOS anyways ? ?It's the second Friday of a new year.Gotcha... If i flash from windows and it goes wrong for what ever reason I dont have a way of recovering my bios "or to my knowledge anyway" If i mannage flash in D.O.S at least i have a way of re flashing my old Bios file BACKI'm flashing the bios because the CPU that Ive acquired needs the bios updating to enable it to function namely an AMD Barton 2.8 Post the link for the flash update so i can read up on it...I would very much appreciate your time and efforts if you would look for me http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us Thanks Generic ASUS DLoad page...i'm not sure what DLoad you're referring to.... Besides...how do you know the BIOS hasn't already been flashed ? ? I have owned the board from New and have never flashed it also when my computer boots up it shows the bios version. The downloads are for the A7N8X deluxe board. Windows XP O/S PCB version is rev 1.04 My Bios version is 1001C The files Ive downloaded are AWDFLASH and the Bios file AN8D1009. Somebody on here must know how to safely do this SORTED IT OUT NOW And i did this via floppy disk.In my oppinion its the best way (risk free) to do it. Ive installed the CPU and all is good |
