Flashy Flashy

[r1zeek]

I just bought my Abit IC7 Max 3 and i'm fitting a Mach I to it, and its giving me duff temps (its gives me 4 degrees C instead of -30/-15)
I have been advised by chiyau to flash my bios to version 1.6.
I have downloaded it from the abit site and I was kinda unsure about what todo next, I know i have to make a bootable floppy, how do I do that, use format> make MS Dos start up disk? I wasn't sure if that option was right?
And then what would I do after that (I have never really flashed a BIOS before)
Thanks

Abits flashmenu should be able to update this to the version from their website.

Hope this helps

Lol, it would be helpful if I had my windows running, thanks for it anyway.

I got my new mobo the same day as my Prometeia so I have only booted it up once to make sure it works so havent installed any of there software, i'd like to get it all working in the bios first before I go installing stuff in windows.

If no one else replies I suppose i'll have to use flashmenu, thanks for that anyway

IIRC press ALT+F2 on boot mate - this should give access to the bios flash ( well it does on the NF7-S ).

(when it says press del for bios - ALT+F2 for flashmenu )

or alternatively

Ahh, thanks mate, life saver
Not really much use now though, I think I just broke my Mach I

uh-uh : whats happened to the mach 1 ?

Fingers crossed you get it up and running and its nothing too severe mate I've seen how much they cost.
