Any good Windows based BIOS updaters to suit my DFI Infinity Ultra II?

I've used the DOS based flash linked here TWICE and had to change the battery after each time...

There's no mention of re-naming the BIOS file in DOS in the instructions of your link, so I did it right. Must be the wrong BIOS...??

As I said before, Is there a stable / reliable WINDOWS based BIOS ...

Removing the battery caused the CMOS settings to be reset, including date and time. The antivirus is probably confused by the date going backward :)

OK - I've reinstalled antivirus and alls well now.

PROBLEM:

Well, I used the DOS based one, but didn't re-name the new BIOS (found this out aferwards...) so after the flash, and a reboot - NOTHING!! Not even a BIOS screen...

Thanks

Thanks...

Is it a fairly risky thing to do? Or is it relatively safe?

Thanks again...

I've had problem with my PC and I've tried pratically everything...

I've decided that a BIOS flash may be my last option...

Where do I get the lastest BIOS for a DFI NFII Ultra Infinity motherboard?

Best utility to use?

Thanks in Advance...
