Updating BIOS by CD...how?

[hokiealumnus]

A small question (completely off-topic, but I'm curious) if anyone, particularly folks familiar with Abit boards here: what's the max safe voltages for the MCH Voltage and the ICHIO voltage?

Not sure about ICHIO, but I wouldn't go over 1.49Vmch without water...even then I would need a strong fan and only for suicide runs. 1.41Vmch is what I'd top out at with out some type of cooling enhancement.

never use EDIT: Flashmenu btw, i had a bad flash and had to rma my ip35-e

IP35-E doesn't have uGuru, I think that you mean FlashMenu.
& you could have simply got a replacement BIOS chip.

I've burnt a UBCD but want to find just simple bloody DOS, had a really quick look last night (as my board is still giving me grief when POSTing) and I want to flash the BIOS but it won't find me D: drive when I load up freeDOS or whatever it was I went into

What is your D: drive?

If its the DVD drive, it'll probably be mapped to a different letter.

[Rob_B]

Yep, DVD drive, went through the alphabet but didn't find it

Make sure you choose to boot with CDROM support - it should ask you when the white boxes pop up

I might do a guide for this soon. Should be fairly simple

That would be a good idea: take your information, and other good info from this topic, and sticky it. It would be relevant for other mobos, not just the IP-35.

On another note, its still odd seeing your name in orange rather than red; whatever you do, don't change your name! lol Then it'd be too hard to find your nuggets of knowledge.

I was just being impatient (I did try it late at night though!) BIOS now flashed to 1.1 BUT still got the freezing on 'Memor..' problem regardless of amount/slot RAM is in.
