My processor died (on an MSI TurboK7T mobo) and so I'm using the opportunity to updgrade to an Athlon XP 17000+ (which the board does support). However, when that computer died, I don't know what version of the BIOS it had - and it needs the latest from MSI's site. All the instructions on MSI's site on flashing to the latest BIOS say specifically _not_ to flash from floppy. So I'm stuck. What should/can I do please?

Buy a preflashed chip, borrow a processor, or bring it into a computer shop and have them update it for you.kaixo wrote:My processor died (on an MSI TurboK7T mobo) and so I'm using the opportunity to updgrade to an Athlon XP 17000+ (which the board does support).

Flash your BIOS at your own risk.
