Greetings all, and thanks for reading my post!
I need some help on an upgrade I am attempting. If anyone has some info that would help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Here's the deal. I have an Asus P2B-F ver 1.00 (no period). with a build 1008 award bios. It is currently running a PII 400mhz processor. What I want to do is upgrade the processor to a PIII.
The problem is, I can't seem to flash the bios! I've downloaded the build 1013a and 1014.002 bios files from the asus website and I have downloaded the aflash.exe, pflash.exe, pflash2.exe, and flash.exe bios flashers. None of them work
Each and every one of them says that the flash type is "unknown". and won't flash the bios.
I am booting from a dr-dos boot disk with no autoexec.exe or config.sys files on it and I have the current bios set on both boot virus detect "Disable" and bios update set to "Enable".
If anyone has some suggestions on how I can get this board up and running please tell me. It's a great board and I don't want to have to replace it.
For some additional info, the processor I am using for the upgrade will be a P3 850e in an asus S370-L slotket adapter set to 1.8vcore.
I can't just plug in the cpu with the 1008 bios and have it run right ? Do I need the 1013 or 4 bios?
Also if there are any specific jumpers I need to set on the motherboard that you know of, just let me know.
Thoughts, suggestions, any information would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
