BIOS Update help Required
Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:27 pm
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and this may be the only time i'll use it as i can't see myself having to update/flash another BIOS in the future after this, but a forum like this is always a usefull thing to belong to if i do need help (like now).
My problem is i need to flash/update the BIOS in my dad's computer which is fairly old, and i need to know where i can get the .exe or the .zip file that contains the .ROM file.
The technical details are below:
Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-7IXE4, Skt 462/A
BIOS = AMI, VER 1.23, (c) 1999, 7IXE4 F7
BIOS Build Date = 15th July 1995
AMI Build Tag = GA7IX002
BIOS ID String = 62-1005-001199-00101111-071595-IRONGATE
Current CPU = AMD Athlon 900Mhz
Intended Upgrade CPU = AMD Duron 1300Mhz/1.3Ghz
My problem is that the Motherbaord won't recognise the upgrade cpu as i think the BIOS is to old.
I need to upgrade from: 7IXE4 F7 BIOS.
To: 7IXE4 F9 BIOS.
I have downloaded the DOS based utility: aminf335.exe so i just need the location of the BIOS update files.
Please can someone help me as i've wasted my money on the AMD Duron 1300Mhz otherwise.
I have looked on the Gigabyte website and the AMI site as well but i can't seem to find them.
If you want to you can Email me with the infomation on: louise.vale@talktalk.net
I would like to apologise now to the mods if i have made any accidental mistakes, i did read the rules breifly before registering, but i hope i havn't broken any of those rules by accident.
But i really need someones help with this.
Please help if you can.
Thank you.
