BIOS Updates forum

j_saade25, thanks for your hint, but it is not the case: i am not dealing with a NEW card, it is just my card that was working properly BEFORE bios upgrade and stopped working AFTER bios upgrade.

No, it does not. I will try as you suggest and keep you updated. Thanks.

ati finally replied (after just 13 days) and they just cut'n'pasted some information from their web support: [begins ati quote] Bios settings play a big part in system performance. Especially the ones related to AGP. I have included some AGP specific BIOS settings that may help to correct your freez...

ok; got it, thanks

i am (longly) waiting a reply from ati customer support and, should it fail, i will try the downgrade.

no way to gmail; thank you for the trouble;

please try sanchoysanchez [at] yahoo [dot] es

what about a zip o removing .exe?

i regret the mail did not reach my Inbox.

I cleared my address (hidden by default); please check it and try again.

Thanks.

no, i do not; and could not find it at intel.com nor at phoenix.com

yes, sure: the system boots ok with an AGP Intel 3D and older Trident PCI cards; and the radeon 9250 was working properly BEFORE i upgraded the BIOS.

Can I downgrade to 4s4eb0x1.86a.0011.p04? Does it make any sense?

Maybe the card finally buckled under the overvoltage abuse. More likely however you just need to start windows in safe mode and kick out the video card and restart to have it redetected. Sometimes bios upgrades wreak havoc in windows because they allocate resources different than they did before......

Thank you; i did as you suggest: after flashing, i loaded default settings an then reentered my custom settings but the system hungs. Just for trying around: what about to set PCI as "default primary video adapter" (nonsense to me beeing an AGP card, but...) What about voltage (3.3 vs. 1.5)? The mob...

As a side effect to this http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/topic9007.html my graphics card gv r925128t radeon 9250 128 MB stopped working after updating the BIOS to the latest version given by Intel: from 4s4eb0x1.86a.0011.p0 to .032.p12 on a SE440BX mobo. I tried the old bios settings (AGP aperture an...

ok, thank you. I think i am just ignoring the BIOS count. I am running WinXp SP2 and, beein a PII 400, am planning to downgrade to Win 2000 and dual boot RedHat 9.0 or, even, an older (=lighter) linux distro. At the moment, the drive is LLFing (I hope, i am on another machine) again: i did it with p...

According to this quote i grasped over the net (http://www.myee.com/Storage/Q_21695585.html), the 65Gb "limit" is not a physical but a display one: the bios correctly counts the sectors but that count is over its display capabilities. Does this make any sense to you? Can I assume my drive to be corr...

Thank you for your reply. the intel page only says that the mainboard's bios will support drives larger than 8.4GB hdds. and it does, as far as i can tell. You are right; but i think i am also right in understunding from this intel's page quote " ...and greater than 8.4 GB (the theoretical maximum o...

thanks edwin; updating the bios is my next step, i guess, just was trying to avoid a needless update. MaxBlast correctly sizes the drive as +-80Gb (81.9) but, after reboot, the bios reports it as a 65Gb one via AUTO mode. I installed a DDO (not knowing at all what it is) and then the bios showed onl...
