Unable to flash bios
Posted: Thu Mar 21, 2002 7:52 pm
I have a Jetway 663as/pro board with a duron 650 (6.5 x 100 in post).The chip on the board is an via vt82c686b, yet on post it is reported as a 686a.
I know the board can go up to 1.4 athlon. I have installed a 1300 athlon (200 fsb). I get a post of 12.5 x 104, a temperature of 42 C, and get a boot into windows then it hangs.I had dual boot and both winme and xp seemed to load then just hang with no response from the mouse or keyboard.I have set bios to default and have set the unbranded 133 ram to 100 in bios. I have tried a complete reformat and reinstall both o/s -they would not install.I have put the duron back in, reformatted and everything is ok. I assume I need a later bios however I cant flash the latest bios.
I have the original bios (663asa03 dated 10/04/2000). I have used the awdflash v 7.78 (and 8.08 downloaded from jetway) and have tried flashing versions 663asa04, 08, and 15 of the bios with no success. When I run awdflash and enter the filename I keep getting the message "the program files bioslock string does not match with your system". I have tried using the command awdflash 663asa15.bin /py and the floppy drive light just stays on with no activity. If I save the existing bios I get a checksum of 9E43H. The details of my current bios are 8363-686A-6A6LMJ19C-00 10/04/2000. Do I need an older flash utility (v7.78 is on the motherboard disk and there is also a utility called bioslock ?)
I have e-mailed Jetway and recieved no response, any help on how to derate the speed of the 1300 or flash the bios would be appreciated. Thanks.
