Stupid Windows XP stopped the system with a blue screen error about half way through the update "to protect my system" :mad: Even using the EZ Flash update utility in the BIOS itself isn't guaranteed to work it seems. Thankfully, in my case, the board was replaced under warranty. Rod J (451)

Altho I updated the old PC here, in Windows. BUT I had the update, all I did was load it.

I didnt update it off the net

Especially using EZ flash.

There's no substitute for doing it the good old fashioned way.

Floppy disk, DOS and a normal flashing program :thumbs:

Only time that's ever failed for me was due to faulty hardware :annoyed:
