BIOS Updates forum

Hi, I'm using Award Bios Edit to turn on a feature in my bios (SmartFan Enable), but only unreadable characters are being displayed. Can any help me to get the display in readable english?

The board is a Biostar 945GZ Micro 775 SE, and the manual shows this entry for the bios, so I'm pretty sure that they just haven't turned the feature on in the posted bios on their website; they won't give me a commitment regarding the update, either.

Linked below is a screen capture of where I'm at.

thx,

bdog

award bios edit just doesn't support your bios, that's all. it assumes fixed byte offsets for menu items and they are completely wrong for your bios. no way fixing that without resourcing the some bioses and writing a module that supports those phoenix bios types.

Thanks, CP. Just to be clear, are you saying that there are no tools that allow me to turn on that feature in this bios type?

I wouldn't go that far.

All cp is saying is that the Award BIOS Editor 1.0 that you are using does not understand your particular BIOS file.

As to another tool that would...I cannot answer this question.

Thanks.
