Disabling external cache and USB should suffice.

Ok... Thank you...

And whats the difference between two files with same name, but with various sizes (0807s.rom - 128kb and 0807s.rom - 222b) which to use...
maybe I downloaded it badly....

You dont know where can I get 5700904s.v1.3 (0904s.rom as I understand) I herd that thisis best ...., I try to search it but I find it as
0904s.rom from directory of M717(ftp://ftp.pcchips.com/BIOS/M717/) ... what is it I can use it?

222b is a wrong size. You should use the 128KB one.

Warning:
a) There are two BIOS versions for the M570, depending on whether it's a V1.x or V3.x board (check near keyboard connector)
b) The BIOS string you posted ("570-001_10_CHIPSET") was also present in the early BIOS releases for the M590. The version with only 4MB VGA RAM, IIRC.
c) Make sure you identify your board correctly in the DO NOT KNOW section of http://go.to/th2

Yea its correctly identified v 1.3 near keyboard connector

And I just flashed my bios from 0122 to 0807 .... by amif325...
I tried Ami 82724 - cant id flash/chipset... then ami336 - the same.
Ami 325 did it ... but I dont saved my old bios :) and dont activate bootforce I simply typed c:\aminf325 0807s.rom , I supposed that it gives me promt for backup and bootforce but it didn't.... and now I miss a little for my old bios... :) What I had have to do????
type c:\aminf325 0807s.rom /b to set an appropriate params...?

And my old bios was graphical with windows but current only with strings,
is there all new bioses arranged like that or no?

Old:
51-0122-001437-00111111-071595-570-001_10_CHIPSET-H PcChips M570
New:
51-0807-001437-00101111-071595-570-001_10_CHIPSET

Flash it with the 5700904s.v1.3 release. It's the latest.

Most graphical BIOSes have been replaced by text-only versions (more professional-looking).

And less memory intensive as space in these flashroms is limited
