Re: k8n-dl:can't update bios to most current
Hey,
I have been running the same kind of system for 3 years. When I built my system I built an identical one for my friend. Last week he bought new 275's to run in his computer. We needed to upgrade his bios to 1010 (at least 1007) since he was still running 1004. When updating bios I always use a DOS boot disk and then run awdflash.exe from another disk, which also contained the new bios. When we tried to do this, we could not get the new bios to load and we then could not get the computer to reformat due to unknown problems. I went home to check to see if I could flash my bios with 1010 and had no problems what-so-ever. I know for a fact that ASUS shipped out a crappy bios chip for these mobos. We infact had a DOA bios on his mobo which we had to send back when first building the computer. We are in the process of ordering a new bios chip. If the problem gets fixed I will post again with the ordered product, the site from which it was ordered, and how to do it. I am an EE so my instructions will be precise and safe. Good luck.
