BIOS Updates forum

I think I have seen something about replacing the onboard video bios, maybe it's also possible to completely remove the video bios part. Not sure how the board would react though. I think the best option is to have an extra bios chip at hand and using that for flashing the modified bios. If it does...

No change either way. Both these sticks tested good on this board and other boards. Seems the problem really happens when I try to use a PCI video card and it doesn't matter which one I use. I've tried a MX400, a Permedia 2 and an S3 Virge.

This is with Windows98SE. I use 512MB (2x256) of Crucial PC133. I have used Memtest which lead me to believe the shared memory is the source of the problem. The higher the shared memory selected, the more Memtest errors show up. Smaller amounts of shared memory result in fewest amount of errors.

I've done that but the shared memory is still being used. I'd like to disable the shared memory completely. I've tried leaving the first memory slot open but that doesn't work either. Windows sees both the PCI and onboard video as a dual display setup. Disabling the onboard video in the device manag...

Hi I've got an older Super7 board, a Powercolor P561A with integrated video and no AGP slot. The on-board video cannot be disabled. All I can do is set the shared video memory to 4MB. Is it possible to modify the BIOS to make 0 MB shared memory an option? I've looked at the BIOS with Modbin but ther...

Sounds like a 48-bit LBA BIOS snag. Check out http://www.48bitlba.com/index.htm

There is an unofficial 48-bit LBA patch for Win9x here:

I was going to let this thread die but I've been asked to follow up with some additional information. The IN5598/PB850 is still running strong with the 1.7volt K6-3+ at 500(6x83). The great thing about the SiS5598 chipset is that PCI bus can be run async of the FSB, so the 83 FSB can be used with co...

I found the last BIOS version, dated 9/28/98, for the Octek Rhino 12+ here: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=125126 You'll have to jump through a few hoops to download the file but it is there. Just use Login:DRIVERS, Password:ALL to get access or you can create your own mem...

Thankyou very much ajzchips and KURIAKI. That is exactly what I needed.

Greetings, I've been trying to locate a BIOS file for an Epox EP-3VWB+ but Epox just recently reformatted all their websites worldwide and withdrew all legacy support. The specific BIOS file I need is 3VWB1921.BIN which is the final BIOS revision available for this board. This BIOS may be contained ...

I downloaded the BIOS for the board and looked at the settings.
In the BIOS under "Advanced Setup" you should see a setting for "DRAM Frequency." You should be able to raise that frequency to 166.
Make sure jumpers J2-A/B/C/D and J3-A/B/C/D are shorted for DDR RAM.

I downloaded the manual for the PCchips board. The BIOS guide shows "Locked" appears next to the setting for "CPU Ratio" which refers to the multiplier. That setting cannot be changed because all Intel CPU multipliers are locked unless you have an engineering sample CPU. "CPU Frequency" would corres...

Sorry if I misinterpreted your problem. The BIOS string from the information you gave seems to indicate you have a PCchips or Amptron motherboard.
Does this look like your motherboard? Here:

Intel CPU's have their multipliers locked permanently and cannot be unlocked. FSB is the only way to raise the clock speed.

Funny, I recall seeing this somewhere... Don't ask how to over-clock. (FAQ #29)
