BIOS Updates forum

I got a bios utility and ran it and this is the info it kicked back:


Program: eSupport.com BIOS Agent Version 3.45

From what I found so far I think this is an ECS MOBO and there are 3 bios updates on the site if this is right but I get an unusual abort while attempting to flash it:

"Part Number does not match the Machine Number"

Currently I can not install anything other then Win 98 (and even it has issues) ME and/or XP will not install at all..

Any suggestions?

Desperate :S

Maybe you are using an older flash BIOS version.
Try another flash utility, like Uniflash:

Some items got lost during quoting:

You already seem to have the latest Bios. Regarding your instability issues, tey may be related to Rambus memory. Try to lower timings or RAM speed. Try to test with only two sticks installed (+2 terminators in empty RAM slots))
