BIOS Updates forum

Also, I heard back from ECS regarding my VGA issue. They told me it was not a BIOS issue, but that I should get the most up to date VGA and chipset drivers(which I have). They also told me to check the power supply unit to verify it was strong enough to initialize the video, memory and all other thi...

ya know, I don't remember if I used the sitches or not (I'm a freek). I think I used the /py/sn/cd/cp switches. If not, I'm sure I could flash again now that I have the process down. As for the keyboard, both it and the mouse are USB, but I do have a PS2/USB converter. I'm also sure I could dig up a...

Ah, yes... I got the .bin situation squared aware (I extracted using winzip and wrote it onto the MSDOS startup disk) and I flashed the BIOS. I flashed because WinXP has been hanging on startup with my new Video card, an ATI Radeon 7000.( I could start in safe moe though). The only issue now is when...

Ah, I thought I might need to fo that. I'm such a dork about this stuff. New question: How do I run the file? Do I run it at the A:> ( while outside the flash utlity? If not, how would I run in the flash utility? I haven't found any info on this part anywhere. Do I need to run the flash program also...

Sometimes I still get "The program file's part number does not match with your system!" and sometimes I ge...

Rainbow, When I follow this step 3 shown below, do I type in "awdflash /py /sn bios.bin" as the BIOS flash utility then my BIOS file? Or do I just add the /py /sn onto the end of the BIOS flash utility file name? The utilty I'm using is Flash Utility V8.22A, awd822a.exe off the ECS website. So, whou...

Hey guys, I attempted to flash the bios on this pc and ran into this problem: The program file's part number does not match with your system So, I, figured I had the wrong flash file and stopped. The pc still runs right now, I didn't screw it up! Anyways I checked the FAQ section and apparently I ha...

Denniss, I currently have the AGP slot set to 2X for troubleshooting purposes. Is this what you mean? Also, yes, I do have the latest via 4in1 chipset drivers installed on the computer. Should I consider upgrading to another power supply? Right now it's 300W. I figured that would be plenty. If the b...

Hey everybody, I'm having a problem and I need someone with more expirience than I to tell me if I'm on the right track, or if I'm completely wrong. I purchased a new video card for my girlfriend's pc, it's an ATI Radeon 7000 32MB 4X AGP. The pc is running WinXP Pro and it hangs on normal start up. ...
