your BIOS before downloading. Select your motherboard model and down-
load the BIOS file to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will
find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the flash.bat (BIOS flash utility) and
the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files. Copy these files onto a bootable floppy
and reboot your system. It is not necessary to set BIOS boot block protec-
tion jumpers on the motherboard. At the DOS prompt, enter the command
"flash." This will start the flash utility and give you an opportunity to save
your current BIOS image. Flash the boot block and enter the name of the
update BIOS image file.
No te : It is important to save your current BIOS and rename it
"super.rom" in case you need to recover from a failed BIOS update.
Select flash boot block, then enter the update BIOS image. Select "Y" to
start the BIOS flash procedure and do not disturb your system until the
flash utility displays that the procedure is complete.
After updating your
BIOS, please clear the CMOS then load Optimal Values in the BIOS.
Question: After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video.
How can I correct this?
Answer: If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS,
it indicates that the flashing procedure failed.
To remedy this, first clear
CMOS per the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing proce-
dure. If you still do not have video, please use the following BIOS Recov-
ery Procedure. First, turn your system off and place the floppy disk with
the saved BIOS image file (see above FAQ) in drive A.
Press and hold
<CTRL> and <Home> at the same time, then turn on the power with these
keys pressed until your floppy drive starts reading.
Your screen will re-
main blank until the BIOS program is done. If the system reboots correctly,
then the recovery was successful. The BIOS Recovery Procedure will not
update the boot block in your BIOS.
Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs
that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include
chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers.
