Code 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2006 Well I had done several times successfully. 1.U just need to follow the steps carefully. Always make a backup of old one. 2.Don't ever try to flash with a file meant for a diffrent motherboard model. 3.Have enough patience - Don't power-off/reset in the middle of the process. 4.Make sure Ur UPS is working well. A power failure with a bad UPS during the write process can mean Ur computer never starting up agian. Expert only!! : Even if u screw up ur bios - if U can dare remove it from the slot and reflash by puttting it on to another computer U can still salvage the mother board.
