One other recommendation. If possible, try a new power supply. Failing power supplies can cause all sorts of strange errors, including reboots under load. Also, inspect the motherboard for signs of bulged or leaking capacitors. For good example pictures, check out http://www.badcaps.com . If you hav...

Check the commandline syntax for Uniflash and try doing Uniflash with the /force option and specifying the code for your BIOS chip. this will likely fix your problem. Uniflash doesn't recognize some SST chips automatically; forcing will set it to the matching chip. Had this issue with the SST 49LF00...

Board works perfectly, but ...

DMB, I'm curious, How did you manage to upgrade to the Intel BIOS in the first place? I have a Gateway-branded Intel D845GVSR that I'm desparately trying to convert to Intel (it's going in a different system than Gateway, but one that uses the same model of board, the old board failed) and it's a no...

No offense intended, seeing as you're from Minsk and all. :) That said, I Babelfished it , and came up with this guess as to how it might work, but I'm really leery of trying this on the system I'd l...
