How to Flash BIOS.

About the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) together before.
Devices of the computer all the hardware will work with valid software software includes for BIOS (Basic Input / Out System) is a storage software's small in chip ROM (as a. EPROM: Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) for use to boot your computer from the disc floppy disks (FDD) or hard disks (HDD) with the BIOS will serve various needs for the POST (Power-On Self Test). Before you run software that's the Operating System such as DOS or Windows from FDD or HDD to restart your computer. Continue to function.



In addition, the BIOS is configured for different computers. It controls the Keyboard, control of the Serial Port, Parallel Port, Video Card, Sound Card, HDD Controller, etc. Sometimes the computer version of the old when the new equipment more to come if the BIOS can not recognize. and work. Need to modify the program or software software contained in the BIOS to recognize the new equipment is also called Flash BIOS for today's BIOS is stored in EPROM, a memory of the normal. for read only. (Most of the ICs, the little boxes on the board) where we can. Delete data and program information. To new using software designed specifically for the Flash BIOS that the depend on the type of BIOS EPROM and Motherboard with I that is Flash or blank by means of simple a check from the site of the motherboard manufacturers that (in most cases. Motherboard for Pentium or above, most will already have Flash) devices usually have different settings. Configuration. A different possibility. That these values are stored in the BIOS CMOS RAM CMOS about 64 Bytes, which will require raising the power from the battery at all times so that the set does not disappear when the computer shuts down. In this part of the CMOS technology with minimal power consumption. So it can be used without waiting for batteries often to get the most effective use of computers. Require a different setting in the BIOS as appropriate. The speed of reading data from the Memory of the Enabled or Disabled Accessories For the experiment, the speed of the PCI BUS, type Floppy Disk or Hard Disk active, peripherals eg SCSI, and many more are in use. PC BIOS is active most of the two companies is the AMI BIOS (American Megatrends Inc) and the AWARD (now integrated with Phoenix Technologies, Ltd. then) Also, I have BIOS is the band เน mm. eg COMPAQ or IBM, which will look and how to set up different a conclusion that the BIOS is very important in computer systems without BIOS we can not open your computer to update or Flash BIOS for the motherboard. accommodate new equipment.


The Flash BIOS Update is to change data or software that's contained in the BIOS ROM Chip, which is software's small size required for the computer boots. And we make is to Update BIOS Update Software's this.  

Reasons to Update BIOS is as follows.

• BIOS to support the operation of new equipment is.

• More and editing capabilities, the more different, such as Auto Detect other devices.

• Support enhanced with new CPU that just happens to also.

• Increase support for Hard Disk Size large support or resolve Y2K.

• Some problems occurred with the motherboard.

• Sometimes it may help improve performance and stability of the system overall.

• and many other details of each BIOS Version will find information from the website of the motherboard manufacturer each brands I will do what other Mai.


Need much to make Flash BIOS.
Generally If you can use your computer normally. No problems have probably no need to Update BIOS I these days, but if you want to add new equipment into your computer such as CPU or Hard Disk change and new problems or can not work. It may be necessary to make Update BIOS so I would need different depending on the computer. What you want to modify the BIOS or not, because that is already difficult to Update BIOS on, why not. If an error during the Flash BIOS is very dangerous size can not boot to it Chiew.


I can find where the new BIOS.

Of course it must be the motherboard manufacturer's website of each brand and that must be the motherboard BIOS the same model I Does not suggest that the BIOS of the motherboard or other models to make sure Flash is not absolute majority can not be used. Or may not be able to boot at all. One more for the Award BIOS, if Flash is not available and would like other would try to find that http://www.award.com.tw/download  I have several versions of the Image of the BIOS.


Preparing equipment prior to Flash BIOS.

Things to prepare for the Flash BIOS is as follows.
• plans for a Boot Floppy Disk machine such as Windows Start Up Disk or disc for use Boot DOS Boot computer into DOS Prompt only (may be made simple by putting their own disc, and then add to format a: / s time.)

• Prepare program for the Flash BIOS can be found on the website of the motherboard manufacturer that I most are small files or if such AWDFLASH.EXE web site. Suggest that the other users, please use accordingly.
• Prepare the Image BIOS that can be obtained from the website of the motherboard manufacturer that most common form. Is a file extension. BIN this I ask again that the focus must be the same version of Image BIOS for your motherboard only I Steps of Flash BIOS. After the decision will certainly Update BIOS, and prepare equipment or software is
ready it's different from the steps of this
• Open the machine and go to BIOS Setup, press DEL while the machine is tested RAM reset the System BIOS Cacheable Option Disabled in the BIOS to lose before the new Flash BIOS.
• To open the guide board to locate the jumper for the Flash BIOS (if there is no manual, try looking for more jumper near the CMOS I often as jumper 3 legs and printing directed active on the board) made. change the jumper to position Flash as you know where I come. Some motherboards may not have time. Try to find preview
• Boot a new machine by a Clean Boot to Boot is to press F8 while the screen to Start Windows will display the Menu and then select Save Mode MS DOS Prompt, and then do the next step. Or should a good Boot the computer from the disc with DOS but only without anything different I Load Driver.
• order known as AWDFLASH Flash software or software that Download the Flash BIOS.

• The majority here Program will be asked to Save BIOS Version older are stored in the machine before It is best to Save BIOS disk I put. To be careful. Or if an error up Could still be solved.
• Enter the name of the Image BIOS file to the Flash and then Flash will step instructions of the program.
• The Flash will take much longer. No more than about a minute meantime it must be careful. Reset will not shut down or strictly I do not like the motherboard, you may not be at all Boot (must be aware of the power outage. Try not to do when the risk of power failures feared).
• After a Flash successfully. To shut down about a 15 seconds to change the jumper for Flash from the beginning. I will revert to the same with
• Sometimes have to Clear CMOS jumper (with a different Flash jumper I) before opening the new.
• Open a new access to Setup BIOS by pressing DEL first step is to select a menu Load Default Setup or Load BIOS Setup before various settings according to a Save the setting. I finish the Flash BIOS.
• For Award BIOS if the while Flash BIOS that new born Error Message to the Insufficient Memory do not worry because it would not make Flash BIOS for new, so let your Boot a new machine and to set the BIOS directly. Chipset Feature Setup, select the Video BIOS Cacheable to Disable  then Save and Exit To Boot New Boot in Clean Boot then Flash new that I should not have this problem again, then when finished it Reboot or shut down in few minutes. then open a new one when new Boot. To go directly modify the Chipset Feature Setup Enabled Video BIOS Cacheable is the same.


Precautions for the Flash BIOS Once again It is very important.
• Image BIOS must use the same version of the motherboard only.
• fire or a falling power failure during Flash Harry sink because it may cause the machine I can not Boot.
• The Save Image BIOS to store the original disc is inserted before always.
• If the warning that the Image BIOS upcoming Flash is not compatible with Air North motherboard your careful not to Flash is prohibited because it's likely that you are using Image BIOS error model, which may cause your computer.

Boot up at all if not already Flash BIOS Boot or not to edit what. For that reason the problem was something. Boot the computer can not, do not worry. Solution is the following.


• making Boot-Block BIOS.
New version for your motherboard. Especially those that use the Award BIOS Boot-Block BIOS will also be available to a small piece of data. Will not overwrite or modify any into the Flash BIOS, although few times even with Boot-Block BIOS will recognize, but Floppy Disk Drive and Display Card for ISA only! If the Display Card is a PCI or AGP despair and Boot-Block BIOS will be able Boot machine only Floppy Disk Only Then we can prepare Image BIOS and the software Flash put the plate is enough Boot done it to. Flash or write new ones to make Flash automatically autoexec.bat at all.


• to make Hot Swapping. This changes the idea is to bring the problem to Chip BIOS Flash to the motherboard of the machine to work normally. To do this while still normal and turn off the machine out of Chip BIOS Chip BIOS to bring our problems to add new Flash and then make changes to this chaos, not less and I would not charge. With damage The result from this Because it is quite detailed and errors easily ... so ask the discretion of the self. For this method.

• Chip BIOS to remove the problem out. Then find the same model motherboard Spec No problem similar to the use of Boot Flash before, then go in to Set System BIOS Cacheable BIOS to Enable before with

• Boot the computer with the motherboard BIOS does not issue a Clean Boot and ditto

• Chip BIOS to remove the motherboard to turn out by the left are here to exercise caution and risk is significant.

• Chip BIOS put the problem down to replace the then new Flash BIOS, then Reboot or shut down.

• If the BIOS without any problems you ever have a problem. Would return to work as before. More suggestions for anyone wishing to use this method is. Before you begin to make sheep out of the Socket Chip BIOS before then enter a new place to put down. Press, but only lightly, but make sure that every leg of Chip BIOS Socket good experience when Chip BIOS to change the time by the need to turn it on. Old Mutual will be able to remove Chip CMOS out the simple addition of information I heard was. The board can be used to make different versions for Hot Swapping Flash BIOS, but at least this time I asked Chip BIOS is the same number and size. I do not endorse the damage that occurs. By the time that Flash will be similar to the message warning that the BIOS can not access the computer or the motherboard. Press it to confirm the Flash BIOS to it.


• Intel's motherboard for particular

• Change the Flash Recovery Jumper Jumper match is over, go to Recovery Mode (Read the manual and for some this is no Jumper).

• Bootable Upgrade Disk eject put the Drive A;

• Boot the machine, it will run normally. But will not Display anything from the screen (this is similar to the Boot-Block BIOS only for motherboards Intel's some models) will see results Boot or execution by observing the power LED. CASE on the cover and / or listen to the sound Beep.

 • The system BIOS Recovery Disk with data on the notice if the lights of the Floppy Disk lit and silent reading at. It shows that you are running. And if off when it shows that the recovery is completed.

• Jumper from switch off and then back to the First position. Then open a new one. This should have no problems then.

• How to End If you can not really solved.

 • For persons who have made the Boot Flash can not be used to conceal ignorance. Brought back to the place of purchase. (If still in warranty) and said that any bad motherboard. This depends on Duang. That will give the place of purchase for replacement or repair, or blank

• If you try all methods and still failed. I have another one. Rather to ensure that the course is to remove the Image BIOS Chip BIOS and find the website for the manufacturer. Or from a backup or to copy from another computer that has the same model. Bring to a shop with tools to copy data into Chip BIOS to us.
