| 427041 | 2006-02-05 10:35:00 | I have an Asus P4B533 MB. It says in the manual don't flash the bios unless there is something wrong with it.It was an intentional update. Plus I had the comfort of knowing that the Crashfree BIOS would keep me safe :angry From my manual: CrashFree BIOS This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk in cases when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. Bah! :) M. |

| 427043 | 2006-02-05 10:53:00 | Try the AWARD bios instructions here (www.biosman.com) , that is a blind flash.. Yeah the manual is pretty vague about it ;) Ignore the wierd people who think that "upgrading bios versions is something done by the local high priest and requires goat sacrifices" ;) |

| 427045 | 2006-02-05 12:36:00 | How old is the board, what term is the warranty? Apparently it costs about $25- (US $ I presume) to get a pre-flashed one sent from Asus, if yours is removable. You'll need a tool to remove it. |

So there is definitely no floppy activity then? Well the next step is to either find someone with a ROM writer or go down ye old "hotswap" route.. Or flog a BIOS ROM from a "dead" model of the same motherboard. |

| 427049 | 2006-02-06 06:47:00 | or go down ye old "hotswap" route..Now what is this "hotswap"? I got a reply from Asus who explained kinda why it's not working (and that I'm not going to be able to get it working enough for another flash), but suggested using an EEPROM, or doing a hotswap... I have asked them to explain the hotswap, but they haven't replied yet (probably because I only emailed them that question less than 5 mins ago ;)) M. |
