I have an ASus A8N Sli deluxe, and I'v just put a dual core 4200+ athlon in there, and it's only seeing one core. So I figure I need to update my BIOS - but I have no idea how to get the updaters working.

I'm running Windows 7, which it doesn't seem to like for various reasons - can someone point me to an updater that will work with Windows 7, and with the 5 year old ROM I'm flashing it with?

Please could you do slic 2.1 for me on my fujitsu laptop:

Model: Amilo Pro V2035
Bios: Phoenix

Bios link: one is disc-image and other is iso-image:

I'm new to the blog and this website, but i need an answer to a problem that I discovered when I purchased a second hand Dell Optiplex GC620.

In looking over the box, I discovered it had 2 SATA ports along with a standard IDE port for the CDR drive and the floppy.

My hopes were to add another HDD to the system and use one drive for WIndows and the other for Linux. I bought a second HDD identical to the onboard device.

The BIOS shows SATA 0 and 2 are usable but when I plugged the second drive into the empty SATA slot, the system would not recognize the second drive.

I replaced the original with the newer drive and loaded Windows onto it and it works fine. So I know the new drive is working.

Does anyone know if there is a BIOS upgrade that will allow the second SATA port to recognize the second HDD.

Good morning to all Bios forum member. I am a new member just now added to your forum. I am italian and i live near Rome.
I have a big problem in my MB (also in english language, excuse me),
that for two years works well but five months ago i have a bios problem:
without any reason after a power on, bios give a message that it is an ceck-sum error and ask for cancel or F1 key to continue. If i press F1 boot progress and load windows XP and work fine but with bios default.
If i press cancel key is is like pc wont shows bios page data, but in a black page with flashing cursor at left upper corner, and a blu line two cm deep, some at the color bios page, in lowr screen, and nothing appen.
In other words i cannot edit bios data and only the reset can live this situation! I have reflashs bios, load other version, replace battery and the CMOS cip with a new bios inside, but the problem is still inside my PC.
In this way i have loses overclock, raid, startup disk, and more other settings that normally we change in bios default.
Some one have seen similar problem, or know the reason of this or have some remedy to edit the bios data in some way just to reload like a default data, the difference that i need to use my PC normally, also if i continue to have not any possibility to enter in bios via cancel key?
Best regards to all, and thank you for your replays.
