Yep... just wait till soupy reads this...

POS = (make a wild guess) when it says Elpina behind it

[ajzchips]

By the way, you can see 440ZX or 440BX on the chipset itself.

Use older version of Awdflash on your board (7.xx) or use UniFlash.

[ajzchips]

You can FORCE the flash using the /PY parameter in Awardflash.

"Awdflash newbios.bin /PY /SN"

That will bypass the wrong BIOS ID display screen.

i dont see any diferent in the machine, with one or other bios version.

My only problem now is copy or move directorios.

i have read in the other forum, that it is for the udma 33 /66/100

Can be this me case?

[ajzchips]

Try more conservative RAM settings in BIOS.

The BIOS is recent enough not to care whether your HDD is UDMA66/100. It will use it at UDMA33 without requiring the downgrade to UDMA33.

good morning.

Tonight i was tested all my bios model.

All this was the same result, when i go to copy or move a directory big (30 or 40 mb) the pc hang up and reset with a cache or vmm error.

at last, i put in bios a 6240117a.bin, with a particular issue, (6240118a.bin crash).


it has the same number that my original bios: i440bx-w977tf-6240-vh and when i copy a directory it hang up, but dont reset the pc.

i am comparing .bin files with a hex editor.

i dont know what more i can do.

if anybody know any more, i will do it.

thanks to all by help me.

one question, please:

If i install a new bios version?

must i reinstall windows? or it isn't necessary.

[Denniss]

Tried to lower memory timings to less aggressive numbers ?
Tried to use a different IDE cable ?
Is your new HDD cooled in some way to prevent overheating especially if it's a 7200rpm drive ?
Maybe your PSU is to weak to support your new HDD ? > is it possible to monitor the voltages from the PSU with motherboard monitor or similar programs ?

[hastalucas]

i'm sorry.

That problems are moving or coping in the old hdd.

i don't use the new hdd and after the bios change i haven't any problem.

The old disk is perfectly.

[hastalucas]

i have seen a 6240116.bin, in two or three sites, but i can't access to it, because they are ftp's sites.

there is anybody that have this version?

thanks.
