Well.. Perheps you've already figured out what is wrong here.
I've done a biosmod, and nog my motherboard is dead. Familiar to anyone?
I have a Jetway motherboard with a Via 694TAS chipset. With a Intel Celeron 1200 Tualatin Processor.
Alright. I have used modbios6 version 2.00, because I wanted to overclock my pc. I was able to higher my CPU clock ratio. But not my Vcore.
Also in Aida32 my Vcore was 1.46 volts. Well.. I found this article and I wanted to do the same trick.
Well.. 1680 mhz was a bit too much, but I though 1500 with 125 fsb would do fine. Well. It didn't. I got at an fsb of 117mhz stable. Still on that 1.46 volts.
So! Because in my bios the Vcore option was disabled, and no other bios-update fixed that problem, I wanted to mod my own bios. So I backup up my current (working) bios, copied that one, and started modding with modbios6.
But then! I saw it wasn't disabled in modbios! I thought.. thats weird. So I used winflash to flash it up. And still not that one option in my bios with the next startup. Stupid Award software...
So! Then I thought... what if I changed the old value System 'default' and Setup 'default' both to 0.05 volts. That it will be forced to have a bit more voltage. well... 1.46+0.05= 1.51volts. Is it too much or something?
I got a cooler for an AMD Athlon 3000+ on my processor. So overheating my processor could be the problem..
So. Is my motherboard ready for junk, or my processor, or both... or is there perheps a possibility to get my old bios back, with the chance that it might work again?
I realllyy hope that one of you can help me!

Stupid bios update!
Can I flash it with any other bios chip, or do I need to have a specific bios chip for my chipset?
Though.. I don't understand how the voltage can be too low. Because the lower voltage always was good. Then a higher voltage should do better.. doesn't it?

The FAQ... you mean collected wisdom? I already checken there.. but those sites don't work.
I'll tried googling more... and got on this site
I do understand how I can hotflash my bios. But how can I remove that chip? It is not a DIN packaga, but a square chip with legs on all 4 sides..
Is there a special tool or trick for this?
tnx for the replies
