I have 2 different PCchips motherboards (M571 and M586) and the first one is dead. I'm pretty sure that the problem is the BIOS, and i've read here some about flashing BIOSes in working motherboards, but nothing about doing it in unmatching ones.

does anyone know about this? is it possible?


thanks. :? :cry:

excuse my bad english, i'm chilean.

I don't know what a "hot flash" is, I just want to "reload" the right "software" to my dead BIOS, but don't know if the method i describe above is possible, if thats called a hot flash, then thats what i need.
:D :wink:

Yes, hotflashing won't pose a problem.
