BIOS Updates forum

For this old board series you need the Asus Flasher Aflash.

Please uninstall the SIS VGA drivers, reboot and reinstall them.
Please verify which version of the SIS VGA Bios is reported (small tool installed by the driver package).

Please uninstall the VGA driver, reboot and install it again.

M810 = SIS 730
M810D = SIS 740

Does the flash program report a successful Bios flash?
Did you try to uninstall the current drivers and to reinstall them after reboot?

Is this your board, an ECS 651C-M?

I'd suggest there's some problem in the slot - either there some dirt hidden in the slot preventing the card from getting all their pins connected, the card is not deep enough in the ...

You may do this but only once. Your Notebook may/will be dead afterwards.
Is there any special reason for doing this ?

Let me repeat - did you load Setup Defaults in Bios after the upgrade ? Please make sure all Audio components are enabled in Bios and verify date/time are set correct.
Is your HP product the HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n

AFAIR there's no support for these resolutions in the SIS VGA Bios. Better get a cheap VGA card for your AGP slot and enjoy the high resolution with imoeived image quality and an increased system performance. -> ATI Radeon 9550/9600 should be very cheap at places like Ebay, just make sure they have ...
