GA-P35-DS3R BIOS update problem

(1/4) > >>

D_arkTrooper:
Hi.

I'm having problems updating the BIOS on my motherboard to F11.

Q-Flash says there's an ID check error and @BIOS reports "BIOS Partnumber(AWARD) is not correct"

When using @BIOS to try and download a BIOS file from the internet,the only version it finds is F10...and I already have that.I tried re-flashing it with F10 and there was no difference.

I've tried downloading the F11 file from different servers but with the same result.

Any ideas whats happened?

Hi D_arkTrooper

Have you checked the checksum (C300) while updating F11 BIOS by Q-flash / @BIOS ?
What version of @BIOS did you use? Would it be possible to update it ?

We have validated that F10 updates to F11 by 2 ways of Q-Flash tool successfully, floppy and USB flash. Here are configurations tested...
M/B： GA-P35-DS3R (Rev.2.0)
BIOS： F10 updates to F11
CPU： Intel E6750
Memory： Kingston DDR2-667 512MB*1pc
Power supply： FSP

D_arkTrooper:
I was originally using the version of @BIOS which was supplied with the motherboard,but even after updating to v1.23 I am still having the same issue.

Using Q-Flash with either floppy disk or USB flash drive still gives me the same error.

Sorry,I don't understand what you mean about checking the checksum (C300).Could you please clarify what I need to do to do this?

D_arkTrooper:
Since the last post,I managed to make a bootable floppy disk with the F11 update.However during installation,I again got the "Bios ID error message".

Out of curiosity,I tried the F11 files for the v1.0 and 2.1 board revisions (mines 2.0) and got the same errors with them all.

Also tried reflashing with an older bios (F7) and got the same error.

Hi

regarding the checksum , it's message shown during upgrade process but before you confirm to upgrade. Please just look at the screen before final confirmation. It should show you the checksum.
If it's C300 that means the file you are using is OK.

Very strange that you recieve the same error using different boards.
Please make sure that you loaded "Optimized Defaults" of BIOS Setup first.

Hope it will help

Bye
Andrew
