GA-P35-DS3R BIOS update problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

D_arkTrooper:
Just tried again after loading the Optimized Defaults and deactivating the anti-virus.

From @BIOS the only available update was F10.

I downloaded this from the first server in Taiwan.

This installed fine and told me to reboot the PC to finish,which I then did.

I then went back into the BIOS and reloaded the Optimized Defaults.

Back in Vista,I ran @BIOS again and ticked the box next to Find BIOS from GigaByte and clicked Update New Bios.
I selected each server in turn (servers 1 and 2 in Taiwan,China,Japan and USA) and each one would only find the F10 update.

Unchecking the box and selecting my own previously downloaded F11 file (of which I have 3 different versions) resulted in the progress bar reaching 100% before the ""BIOS Partnumber(AWARD) is not correct"

Sorry,there is no indication of any checksum message.

runn3R:
Hello

can you try with the file we used for testing with OK result (bios F11 attached) ?

D_arkTrooper:
Hi.

Thank you for posting the test file.

Unfortunately,having again tried to update with @BIOS,I again have the same error message "BIOS Partnumber(AWARD) is not correct"

runn3R:
Hello

Very strange indeed. Are you sure you have P35-DS3R model, not the other one ? Please check the marking on the PCB of your MB. I assume that you have this one indeed. As the message "BIOS Partnumber(AWARD) is not correct" usually occurs when trying to load bios from the other model of mb ...

And please use Q-Flash to make upgrade

D_arkTrooper:
I can confirm it's definately the GA-P35-DS3R motherboard rev.2.0.I have the box and instruction manual sitting right in front of me and I can clearly see the writing onthe pcb  :)

I again just tried updating using the test file with Q-Flash and a bootable floppy disk and the same "Bios ID Error" message appears for both  :(
