Punisher3SGTE Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Ok, a few weeks ago I tried to flash to the 704-2bt or whatever modd'd bios in the BIOS factory forum.. After I did that.. my PC would't boot.. i tried to hotflash the chip in another DFI Lanparty board.. the chip was dead. I got another chip and I hotflashed it in the other DFI board I have and I flashed it to 6.23 .. that worked fine.. well I had to give the chip back to it's rightful owner.. and I got another replacement chip for my board.. I put it in.. it had the 3.23 or whatever original bios on it.. well I tried to flash it to the 6.23 .. I put it on a floppy.. rebooted and the floppy had an autorun file on it.. the flash process went fine.. completed.. i hit F1 to reboot.. and bam.. PC dead.. SOOOOO... I GET ANOTHER exact same chip.. this time I try to hotflash it... it flashes fine yadda yadda.. put it in my board.. nothing happens.. What the hell!!! When I originally updated the bios for my board I put the files in the root of C: and I used a boot disk to get into dos and then ran the awdflash and the .bin from C: and that flashed fine.. What do you guys think is up? this original 3.xx bios is such trash.. HELP PLEASE! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniggle Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 i had problems flashing when i first got my board as well. it was always resolved by simply resetting the CMOS. if that didn't work, this always did. hotflashing should be a very last resort.
