so beter dun flashing loh....
js change it lor....

that one because he flashed unsuccessful, but then he didn't revert back to old bios.

then after restart, bye bye

many ppl say its safer flashing through DOS method. bro xixo already uploaded links at first page on the 'how to' ..

i read here n there (XS, rebel, or just google) about flashing bios, and probability of corrupt by flashing through windows is higher compared to the DOS way.. is it because of the software used?

bro digswell method to fix corrupt bios is if u have another same motherboard / bios .

the other way is to replace chip?

any other ways, bro dblooi?

I would say that's depend on user himself.
Some people play mp3/ watch movies, download stuffs, streaming video, surf net, chatting in YM and MSN + run orthos at the same time.
Once orthos fail then they'll complain non- stop. Same thing goes to flash bios.
I don't know which method is safest method, but I'm sure flash bios with floppy disk is definitely the most dangerous way.
As a storage device, Floppy disk is not durable and liable at all.


that's hot flash. Other than that, You can try to use the boot disk method if the boot block hasn't been destroyed.

Lastly, For those who never flash bios before, better do some proper studies before you do so. You can always use google search to clear your doubts.

Got a small kit can flashing back the bios without using any mobo .Is very hard to find. Usually mobo company hv this tools kit

haiz, raining again here.

can't continue my OC project @2.6Ghz

How come? Raining baru nice to oc.

-pWs-

shuid said there is kilat guruh

later got extreme vcore, vdimm on my motherboard baru tau

OC sampai meletup

Meletup bagus.
No worry la bro.


-pWs-

IMO, both have pro n cons, as dblooi said, floppy is not durable and liable at all.. old stuff rite.. then through window, sumtimes ppl forgot to make sure their system stable enuff to flash, it will lead to crash at the half way.. n of coz this will cos a big problem, depend on urself, i prefer to flash at windows only, coz faster n no need other hardware to attach, what i need onli software.. n my advice dun flash when ur system in overclock mode..

every day spamming , i remember when i oc at hostel (when at college, malacca) at level 3, open the sliding door n start oc.. the temp.. so cold.. but not in lightning..only raining

Added on October 3, 2008, 7:33 pmthe most important thing is hv to disable cmos antivirus...some of mobo do hv a antivirus option at cmos . if flash the bios at cmos , the antivirus will detect it or no allow the bios to flash. So wat will happen if flash the bios though windows when cmos antivirus is enable

Yup. Disable all unnessary software.
Then you are good to flash in Windows.

And make sure all is default setting to ensure that your com wont hang or BSOD when you flash.

-pWs-

gotta agree w/ d prime thingy bro... prime tends to fail easier while web browser is active. do that when primin phenoms one will get extra bonus too... BSOD...

while for d bios flashin thingy, as u said, it really depend on what user himself is more comfortable w/. flashin in windows is not dangerous but it depend on d nature of bios file. there are some bios files can only be flashed by dos flasher. so even system is 100% stable + no other programs causin any problem but one flashes it w/ windows flasher, there will still be a bad flash. to deal w/ this kinda situation, it's either use d primitive way (floppy) or create a bootable pen drive for bios flashin.

dun worry bout flashin bios w/ floppy as d flashin will only start after d bios file loaded into ram (or a sumthing like that). while writin d bios file into d chip, dos flasher no longer need to retrieve d bios file from floppy instead it'll be read from d ram. if say while flasher try to load d bios file into ram (before d writin start) but unsuccessful, one can still exit d flasher w/o havin a bad flash. i've did that several times so i'm quite sure of that.

mebe i'm too reluctant to learn how to create bootable pen drive that's why i always use d old skool method... (sign of bein old as old ppls are stubborn... )

how to create bootable pen drive . bro see the post #2

am aware of that bro... i have only one pen drive & too bad it has been kidnapped by my gf ledi. nevertheless, gud guide there...

it's hard to wait for d bonus... 1 month & 3 days more... hopefully there'll be positive feedback bout dfi 790fxb, if not i think i'll just go for cheaper + decent option in biostar. asus 790fx is wayyyy too expensive...

for me depend on how budget i can get next year . my ta770 (1st rig) will build to HTPC . then i will get another mobo + x4 phenom

lol.if the motherboard got sound nevermind. later on, my RAMs, hard disk, lcd monitor etc all oso got sound.

then after that got nice, sweet smell of PCB burning.

anyway, as an update, my fren told me his PC couldn't be boot into windows vista (the M3A78 Pro one.).. i tried everything like resetting the CMOS, bios default mode all oso cannot. when accessing the harddisk it'll say "insert proper boot device and press any key to continue". used windows xp cd to see if the hard disk fail or not, but the partition is still there. is this the normal symptom of corrupted windows vista or what?

haiz, phenom tricore project have to do next time la like this

it's d @#$% (i forgot what it's called) table thingy in bios, need to enable it it bios.

edited:

put ACPI XSDT Table = Enable, it's under power management page (not so sure how AMI bios arrange it thou)
