Do
I need to flash the BIOS? |
| |
|
| |
If
your system is working without any problem or conflict,
we strongly advice that you do not upgrade the BIOS. Trying
to flash a working BIOS might result in a non-working
motherboard in the event of a power failure or using the
wrong BIOS file. A BIOS upgrade will usually contain one
or more of the following: Additional BIOS features, bug
fixes and/or additional CPU support. |
| |
|
| |
I
have compatibility issues with my new CPU or a device
and I want to flash the BIOS. |
| |
|
| |
Warning!
Do not flash the BIOS unless you are sure your problem
is BIOS related.
To flash your BIOS, you'll need to download AWDFLASH.EXE
and the BIOS file for your specific motherboard xxxxx.Bxx(name
of BIOS file). Copy these two files onto a bootable
floppy free of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, boot
the system with the bootable floppy, and type AWDFLASH
at DOS prompt. When asked what file to program with,
type in xxxxx.Bxx(name of file) and follow on-screen
instructions to complete the update process. It is a
good idea to save a copy of the old BIOS when asked.
After restarting the system, enter the CMOS setup and
load "BIOS defaults" or "LOAD SETUP(or OPTIMIZED) DEFAULTS." |
