HomerJaySimpson Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 You'd need to download the flash utility from the site who makes your mobo. Run it on a floppy when you start your computer. Real simple, just find out who makes your mobo if you dont know and they should give you instructions too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUMaestro Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 winFlash huh.. sounds like a utility that will flash in within the OS.. I would recommend booting to safe mode to flash the bios in windows. and no, it doesn't matter what your settings are. just flash away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) It can matter , it may screw up something Safe mode might not work cuz it shuts down Things , just do it in Reg.
