Hot flash was a disaster. Award.exe would not work so used uniflash and now computer will not even enter post. I allowed uniflash to write to boot block but write was unsuccessful. Does my original bios saved from awardflash 256k have the complete bios information including the bootblock data? Anyon...

Disabled controllers but no luck in booting to HDD :( . Bios still hangs when detecting PCI listings. I have borrowed an old computer with a 32 pin DIP Award bios. It is on an AOpen AP5T board.

See extract below from Gigabyte's FAQ. I had earlier ...

No luck it still hangs when listing the PCI devices.

OK I thought the dip was for chip settings only but it does adjust the FSB also. I will try tomorrow and advise results. Thanks

Still no success using 1 stick, even tried different sticks, and bios setup defaults. Could not find bios or board jumper to drop FSB to 60/66.

I was adding a new 80GB drive so downloaded most recent bios from gigabyte vF3a. Flash was successful but now bios hags at PCI device listings. I have removed all cards but whatever cards I leave in or remove it hangs when listing the PCI devices e.g serail bus controller, under the IRQ column. I ha...
