vBOIS for gigabyte GA-8SIMLH-P (Rev 4.0) sis651 chipset

Postby sunnybear » Mon Jun 09, 2008 1:48 pm

hi all
i've got a friend, who has a GA-8SIMLH-P (Rev 4.0) motherboard, and recently she got her a new 22' widescreen, in order to get resolution 1680x1050 i helped her update the bios to FH which is the most recent one. but the vbios doesnt get updated to 2.28 or later and it stays 1.xx

here is the direct link to the motherboard bios
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Moth ... uctID=1722

i've install the driver for monitor and the latest driver for sis651,ie this one
SIS65x/740 (~16MB):
http://driver.sis.com/graphic/igp/uniVGA3/uvga3_373.zip

in the display - setting it has option with 1680x1050, but the monitor wont do it and changes back(1024x768) after i click apply buttom.

i know that there is vBIOS for GA-8SIMLH, i doubt it would work for different model.

i've also sent a message to CP, but havent got replied yet after 2days

if anyone would help me out here, much appreciated

just make sure that the model is GA-8SIMLH-P and it's not GA-8SIMLH

i will flash it until you confirm with me, coz on the donwload page it says GA-8SIMLH

cheers

sorry for the late reply. i was away for the past over a month
just tried this BOIS today, it worked for the motherboard, but the display problem was still there, not sure where it got wrong.

and my friend decided to upgrade her system, problem fixed now :)

anyway, thanks for your help
