I came across this post https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/archive/...41620.html which unlocked AHCI on Acer EG31M ICH7 motherboard. I tried it on my Acer Veriton M265 system  and it worked. I also have another EG31M board from Gigabyte and am wondering if AHCI can also be unlocked on this Gigabyte's EG31M-S2 Rev2.0 ICH7 motherboard using BIOS FCD version. 

Thank you.

I'm having trouble modifying an Award Medallion v6.0 BIOS used on a Packard Bell PC. I'm trying to use the Modbin6 utility to make the Maintenance menu visible in the BIOS, but despite several attempts, this menu always remains hidden. Has anyone successfully modified this specific BIOS to enable this menu? Do you have any tips, specific steps, or a tutorial you could share to successfully perform this modification safely? 

Thank you in advance for your help!

for my all in one WinXP/Win7/Win10 machine i opted for a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 motherboard.

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-...rt-dl-bios

Version F9

Now, because i like to make things work in ways that they were not suppose to, based on the fact that the memory controller is in the CPU for this series, the X3480 has ECC memory support and the spirits that showed up in my dreams Wink  lead me to do the following experiment:

- buy a unbuffered ECC ddr3 memory stick and see if it works (even if the manufacturer site specifies that there is no ECC memory support).

To my surprise (not too big, i have not seen memory slots with missing pins, so if all the traces from the CPU were connected to the memory slots, electronically, all should be fine) it works perfectly (stable, no BSOD's) but:

- wmic MemoryChip get DataWidth,TotalWidth returns: DataWidth 196 TotalWidth 256 (so it looks like ECC).
- wmic MemPhysical get MemoryErrorCorrection returns: 3 (which means no ECC correction).


So i'm thinking, maybe a bios option to enable ECC?!

Thank you!

There are missing things against more recent versions, and there are things present that more recent version hasn't.

STILL NO CPU FSB SETTING that could be changed at least in a visible (including CTRL-F1) way.

Also, CPUs like Q9400 are not supported so a microcode update is mandatory.

Have fun.
