BIOS Update

Oh and who did you buy the RAM from? I had had problems like you mention in the past from buying certain brands of RAM. Never had a problem with crucial.com though – fantastic service and reliability. Oh and I didn’t even get a fee for saying that!!

i’ve update the bois on more than one computer.

seems to be a new trend with new mother boards
As long as you follow the intructions your mobo manufacture recomends you should have no probelms.

make sure you use clean floppy disks , new ones are best and that your floppy drive is working ok before you start the flash when.

also don’t touch the machine while its flashing , shouldn’t be a problem as it doesn’t take long, useally a minute.

if the board flash doesn’t sort memory out then it could be the memory like cybercat said
also check the voltage the memory should be set to , sometimes that works.

check with website first as uping the voltage can damage the memory

moral of the story is to check on the mobo website for memory compatability ,
they useally have a list of tested memory.

never buy cheap budget memory , and if its going in machine with other memory .
always best to check its same make so you don’t get timing errors.

hope this helped

Hi Ow£n
Your present Bios is shown on your first post screen (some call pre post) the first thing you see when your PC is booted you will see Motherboard make the Ram count and Bios version, i looked at your link so look for A11G or sim i took this number from the top of the Bios list, so look for a number and match it to a number in the Bios list then you will have the latest update, this may help Here and as Liam-Wabbit says use a new Floppy and don’t touch anything when Bios is loading (The PC, Keyboard or Mouse) to download the bios follow the web site instructions you should not have any problems.
