I'm having a hard time trying to upgrade my computer.
I bought a Powerleap "PL-iP3/T" upgrade kit, and a 1200Mhz cpu.
However, when I installed the new cpu the screen went blank.
This problem was mentioned in the manual and the solution was
to flash bios... Tried with asus' "aflash.exe" but got the message:
"flash memory: unknown". So I contacted asus and they suggested
I'd try an older flasher("pflash2.exe"), as aflash might not work with
older ROM's. So I tried with pflash2.exe and got pretty much the
same message .(memory type: unknown). Now I've found out that
my motherboard is a fake one...
I ran "bios agent" and it said:
BIOS ID: <<P2B>>
BIOS DATE: 10/09/98
BIOS Signon: 10/09/98-i440BX-<<P2B>>-00
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
Super I/O: Winbond 977TF rev 0 found at port 3F0h
Chipset: Intel 440BX/ZX rev 3
OEM Signon: ASUS P2B ACPI BIOS Revision 1006
I don't know much about bios flashing, except what I've read
on wimsbios the past couple of days, and desperately need some help...
*Is my bios writable/flushable?
*Where do I get a new one if it's not?
(I live in Norway, and can't think of any suppliers...)
Thanks in advance... Leif W. Husdal
Bios flashing problems. Fake Asus "i440BX-<<P2B&g
Tualatin CPUs work fine with the latest 1014 BETA 003 BIOS. You can try UniFlash.
Patched and tested BIOSes are at http://wims.rainbow-software.org
UniFlash - Flash anything anywhere

There was also a modification for some of their LX chipset based boards to support power-hungry AGP cards - it disappeared too.

Yes, the pictures says much.

Keep in mind that images can not be translated, and software translations can have insues. But the above results are enought suficient to be acepptable.
