Re: Intel D845GRG system board, BIOS recovery diskette image.

It sounds like you want to do a recovery flash update. If I give you the .bi* files to put on a floppy disk and then do the recovery, would that be enough?

Re: BIOS isn't recognizing serial and mtm numbers

The service replaced the motherboard
and should have reset the serial/mtm numbers as well. Contact them for how to fix this.

Re: MSI GT663 MS16F1 Corrupt BIOS

USB floppy means literally that, a floppy disk drive with an USB connector. The floppy disk needs to have DOS and the bios file AND autoexec.bat file with the proper command to flash the bios. I would send an email to MSI tech support stating what happened, they should be able to give you the proper...

Re: DFI 790FX-M2RS - Phenom II X6 Support

It is not just the northbridge/soutbridge chip that determines if a certain CPU family can run on a board. The power circuits needs to support it too. As for the speed I have no idea why it is not scaling up, maybe you need to reinstall the CPU driver as well in windows (yes it has a separate driver).

Re: Black Screen after Flashing Bios

Your current CPU needs F20 bios AT MINIMUM to function

I suggest you try and find/borrow a CPU that is supported by the F1 BIOS.

Re: Looking for a bios for my ICL C4/33

JET systems changed its name to Galaxitech which was then merging with All-In-One Systems. They exist until today: https://aios.be/ you might try to send their support an email, perhaps these files somehow survived. If they did, let me know, I'd be more than happy to host them.

Converting Intel .bio files into AMI or Phoenix bios files

Not sure if this has ever been tried before and/or documented before. I want to try and convert bioses from the socket 4/5/7 era into .rom files. There must be a way of stripping the headers from the chunks and combining them into a single file.

Anyone?
