1. What is the release date and BIOS id string of your current BIOS?
2. What is the release date of your new BIOS?
3. Did you enable BIOS flashing in your CMOS setup?
Note - "4.51 PG" won't change; just the release date.

Flash your BIOS at your own risk.
Try some other version of awdflash (older).

Yep the first one.
This means you have a PcPartner/Vtech board, we need two more things.
1. a 35-8xxx-xx number printed on the top surface of your board, it can be in fine print and is usually found near the CPU slot/socket
2. The brand of your clock generator IC which can be ICW or Winbond. It is one of the smaller chips on your motherboard.
ICW should have W144 somewhere
Winbond should have W83194R-39A somewhere.
Once we have this information we can point you to the right variant of the bios. There are three for this particular bios.

BXA839D, the 2K001120 variant.
once you have downloaded the zip file and unpacked it, there's a note.txt file which tells you to use the B1120IAG.BIN
