BIOS Updates forum

I have an OEM version of the Microstar MS-7125. It's a Fujitsu-Siemens version of the K8N Neo4 Platinum, minus the Silicon Image SATA RAID chip. MSI Live Update downloaded the latest BIOS for the K8N Neo4 Platinum and flashed it, no problem. The SI RAID stuff doesn't appear in the BIOS setup. The we...

I have a couple of PCs with fast Socket 7 CPUs. One has a K6-2+ 500Mhz and the other has a K6-III 450Mhz. Another one is a Duron 900. Does Windows 98SE need a patch for those CPUs? IIRC, Windows 95 (all versions) and 98 needed a patch in order to work with CPUs (especially AMD) over 350Mhz. I also h...

I'd like to find a complete manual for this board. I've found some bits and pieces- diagrams of some of the jumpers by digging around Biostar's old sites with archive.org. The oldest archived there does have a link that might have lead to a page to download full manuals, but of course that's a page ...

I have an M535 board with UMC IO chip, flashed with a M520 BIOS with the release date of 12/07/98 ID string = PC Chips M520 (Rel. 1.1A) 12/07/98-i430VX-2A59GHTBC-00 Is this actually newer than the 10/17/97-i430VX-02271997C-00 on http://wims.rainbow-software.org/index.php?count=-1 ? The original ID s...

That's the chipset drivers, not the video driver. There's no 2000 folder, just All, Vista, x64 and Lang. The first three have .cat and .inf files, Lang has localization files for the setup. Upon closer inspection, there's no drivers at all in that- just files that set the information for Windows to ...

Close to it. It appears to be the M535, without the COAST slot installed.

The video driver can only be installed by running its setup program because it doesn't have an .inf file. The message it returns is This driver cannot be installed on this computer. Please contact the computer's manufacturer for further information. Setup will exit. For the sound driver, I run setup...

This one has 3 ISA, 4 PCI with one shared, 4 72pin SIMM, 2 DIMM, 430VX chipset, AT power only, Houston Tech clock/CMOS/battery module in a socket(!) between SIMMs and power connectors. The floppy, IDE and parallel ports are between the SIMMs and PCI slots. The CPU is way down in the corner by the IS...

The video driver will not install and the sound driver extracts then says it can't find the driver file.

This is the Dell box http://tinyurl.com/33329g I got the last version of the video driver for this chipset, "Springdale", from the Intel site and it would not install. Nor would the chipset and IDE drivers. I searched Dell's forum for E210882 and found that boards with that number on them have been ...

I have a Dell Dimension B110. Dell issued one BIOS update for the B110/1100 and most of their drivers date back to 2005. Newer 'generic' drivers will not install because Dell fixed their BIOS to only allow Dell's drivers to install. Is there any possibility to force the Intel BIOS for the motherboar...

Interesting. That shows four jumpers. My board's a Revision B with only three jumpers. One with three pins and two with two pins.

If I recall correctly, it never was very stable. It didn't have any of the jumpers shorted. I'll try it with a cap on the three pin jumper as shown for AGP 2x operation.

Thanks for that. Now if I could find the manual V700series-manual.pdf

The whitebunny site that had all the nifty nVidia BIOS downloads and driver versions to download is gone. Who has them now? I'm looking for the latest TNT2 BIOS for a 16 meg Diamond Viper V770. No TV features. Anyone know exactly which TNT2 chip version was used on the V770? I'd also like to know wh...
