I have seem people sells BIOS Chip on Ebay, I am wondering if I order one for GeForce6100PM-M2 and replace it on my ECS Nettle3 board, would it work? Thanks

It'll take some time to scroll through all the comments, so just quick reply here...

The said "GeForce6100PM-M2 (V7.0/V7.1)" BIOS download is this the original BIOS or a modified one with Over-clock abilities?
Don't have my old Phenom BE to unlock the over-clocking menu any more!

If it doesn't unlock the Over-clock, any chance for a request?

Cheers.

EDIT:
I bricked da ting :c

Hey wiz Great post you have no idea how much fun ive been getting out of this mother board. I just have one question can I put a AMD Phenom II X6 Black 1100T 3300Mhz 125 W with aftermarket heatsink and fan or is it to much and will fry my board??

I've still got a lot of reading on this thread, looking forward to trying to unlock and squeeze some more out of my old HP pc.

The link in the first post to a page about the motherboard gives a 404 now. I think this is what it is meant to find:

Is there any chance someone has worked this out recently with Ubuntu 11.04? That's what I tried first, but I got stuck trying to make flashrom. That fails and complains of a missing usb.h header.

To get there, I had already modified sources.list for apt-get to point to current servers - that let me get subversion successfully, and the svn co command appeared to complete properly too. I also tried to configure apt-get for universe and multiverse access, but the closest advice I found for resolving my make error involved, I believe, using apt-file - and I don't have that installed and still was unable to acquire it.

This is largely from my memory of running from CD, so let me know if there are any specifics I should recheck. I am very inexperienced with Linux in general, but otherwise have a lot of PC and software development experience.

When I ran into these obstacles, I also tried using Ubuntu 14.04.2, but it seems to have severe stability issues on my hardware. The whole system freezes soon after, or during, startup - keyboard and mouse lock, screen is often corrupted. I just found some recommendations to remove addin video cards, I'll try again tomorrow with that. I assume this should be pretty simple - I expect the terminal commands documented here likely work without any adjustment. But I've tried both 64 and 32 bit releases, booting from flash and dvd drives, but can't get far enough into a boot to even open a terminal window.

Overclock with Ntune System Tools to find more settings http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_syst..._6.10.html

Also hit Ctrl + F1 in bios for more unhidden BIOS features

TESTED CPU's
AMD AM2+ Phenom x4 9150e 1.8GHz 65w
AMD AM3 Athlon II 245 2.9GHz 65w -OVERCLOCKED with Nvidia System Tools to 3.4GHz
AMD AM3 Phenom II x4 3.4GHz C3 125w BLACK EDITION Passed Prime95

CAUTION: IF using a (CPU) Processor higher than 95w you will need to UPGRADE to an AFTERMARKET Heatsink. The one that came stock with the HP/COMPAQ computer is not good enough for a high wattage processor

To clarify the instructions on Linux Using Ubuntu Live CD (11.04) (RECOMMENDED FLASH PROCEDURE)

Have files on flash drive...

open terminal
sudo apt-get install subversion
Ubuntu software center (search libpci)
install Linux PCI Utilities (Development files)

Now do (in terminal):
svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom
cd flashrom
make
sudo make install

navigate to flash drive in terminal: (mine was located at /media/745B-FD7D):
cd /media/{your dir}

backup old bios
sudo flashrom -r bios.bak (will store in curent directory)

now sudo flashrom -f -w BIOS.ROM (or whatever you named it)

run command again if it doesn't take the first time. Then you are done

Thanks,

Hi, and sorry for my bad english.
I've a HP with MCP61PM-HM v.2.2 and an Athlon X2 4450e.
I would to flash the 61M27604 BIOS but under DOS i've found this IMPOSSIBLE because the original HP BIOS is made from AMI but the modded BIOS is from Award.
What i can do to replace the BIOS?!? Can I try to flash il with UniFlash?!? Is it safe to change the Award BIOS with the AMI?!?
Thank you!!!
