i not sure but sometimes it get rid of bugs
how did u make the iso file or u mean a data file
ok cool my update is like 932kb so not sure i can use a iso i might have to use a floppy drive which i don't have
putting the update on an iso when the manufacturer is saying to do it from a floppy is a bad idea. BIOS updates should only be done if you require features added in the update or are having stability issues with your system.
Do this wrong & you WILL KILL YOUR MOTHERBOARD.
go to the website, follow the instructions to the letter. if you are not sure what you are doing, then find someone who doe know how to do it & get the to do it for you.
From looking at the updates available for your MB, unless you are running a RAID system or a phenom 2 processor you don't need to update your BIOS. The chances of it fixing the issue you are having with your windows install are slim.
As has already been suggested have you tried installing windows with your system stripped down to bare minimum components?
did you run the windows 7 compatability utility before you killed your previous OS install?
do you have an overclock on your system? if so, have you tried removing it?
there are loads of things to go through before updating the BIOS should even be thought about
yea i finally got it intalled used one 2GB ram instead of the two i have in, but i have am getting blue screen pretty regular is it becasue i put back in the next 2GB ram, i hope not
most common memory fault I see is under volting. Most motherboards don't put enough juice into decent ram. check the voltage on your ram sticks (should be on the sticker on one side of them), then set the voltage manually in BIOS
but how come i was able to use the two ram in windows xp
fred126: yea i know but there are two downloads version 09/07/15 and version 09/08/27 which one should i be installing
yea i know but there are two downloads
version 09/07/15 and version 09/08/27
which one should i be installing
Always chose the latest update as it will include all previous versions: 09/08/27
can someone give me a brief walk through i am doing it am going to do this
am putting it on a floppy allow it it to boot from floppy and then what follow the instuctions on the screen?
thanks in advance
It really depends. Some motherboards support WinFlash which will run the update in Windows and apply it via a forced restart. BIOS updates always have the possibility of causing issues with your machine so I would recommend doing a little more reading on the subject before proceeding if you are at all leery of what to do.
I think my bios does the update by something called flashing ever herd of that ?

Essentially, flahing is just the process of overwriting the old settings, features etc. of your old BIOS and updating your BIOS. the BIOS performs all the the essential services to get your PC up and running when you turn it on until the OS takes over.
B-Basic
I-Input
O-Output
S-System
Do you see the initial black screen that show your memory, etc when you first boot up? That is info that the BIOS is putting on to your screen.
