Thanks in advance

I have recently patched that BIOS and can send it to you for testing...it's in the post.

Can you let me know what I need to do to flash my BIOS. I have never done one before.

Thanks In Advance

OK, so please go to the "Collected Wisdom" forum and check out "BIOS upgrading step by step". Also look at the FAQ on the main Wim's BIOS site www.wimsbios.com

I am not sure about how to flash. The one link step by step (soyo...) is a dead link (my mistake it is working) and the other gigabyte did not have my BIOS or motherboard listed. Do I need Award Flasher v7x or is there another program I need to flash the BIOS. Instruction are always a plus. I will keep dig and read while waiting for your reply.

Thanks for taking the time and help a newbie out.

Sorry Nick. I need to do an ipconfig /renew on my computer to view the soyousa page. I also download the AWDFLASH.EXE. I hope this is everything I need.

Thanks for all your help. Great web site

I think there have been some problems reported with almost every version of flash utility. Rainbow's Uniflash is very flexible (see
http://www.pppr.sk/rainbow/programs.html#UniFlash ). Good luck.
