skycom,

If you are refering to the link in my sig below... this one...
http://www.freewebs.com/milt/P...810L...L_BIOS_Page.htm' ">http://www.freewebs.com/milt/P...ps_M810L_BIOS_Page.htm
then no, but that's because no update is required.

Did you ever try to flash that 030414s.rom... the one made for the 'C' versions of your mobo???

Thanks for getting back to me.

Simply put i been too busy to fit a time slot in to do this, but im reserving some time to at least begin with the 1st option.

What i need from you is some clarification on a certain item or two, in the tutorial you mention or whoever it is that compiled these BIOS setting files mentioned that the readings will return incorrect results in the DOS and this was something that hadn't been corrected yet.

My question is, what utility or program is best for accurately displaying the exact readings?

Thanks

hehe you guys been on the flashing bios part for a while, if you cant figure it out just do it in windows under safe mode, i have yet to see a problem and with my backup Ive flashed at least 5 different bioses just trying to experiment i do have a backup chip after all .

sorry posts are to long and I'm not patent to read around 2 pages discussing the same bios flashing technique so refresh me, can or can you not do it?

hehe, read some of the above and offer up any suggestions you might have. BTW, no one is been trying anything for awhile, this is post #2 of mine since about 4 months ago.

skycom,

I don't know what the "1st option" is, (or was), and am basically too lazy to search back through a three page thread to find it.

Run WCPUID, (or CrystalCPUID,) to get all the pertinant details about what CPU you actually have in there, what speed it's currently running at, and make a note of the L2 cache, the multiplier, and the Family - Model - Stepping ID...
From that info, we can figure out exactly what it is you have, and what it should be running at.
WCPUID is available for free here http://www.h-oda.com/' ">http://www.h-oda.com/
CrystalCPUID is available free, from this page http://crystalmark.info/?lang=en' ">http://crystalmark.info/?lang=en

I have forgotten what all you are running, so... please, do me a favor, and put everything that you currently know about your system's specifications into your 'Signature' by hitting 'My Controls' (at the top of every page), then 'Edit Signature', then enter your details in the box that appears.

Include the Model and REV number of your mobo, OS used, BIOS used, CPU type and temperature, [e.g. Athlon 750 @ ??°C idle/ ??°C load], FSB & multi, memory used [i.e. 2 x 256 PC2100 ], vid card, and PSU specs (+3.3v=??A, +5.0v=??A & +12v=??A from the sticker on your PSU), if you have them.

There is no way in he11 that you are expected to know all of that junk, but please, put in the stuff that you do know about, and a ??? for the stuff you don't, and I'll show you where to find it, Okay?

You only need to do this once, and then every time you post here, those specifications will appear automatically at the bottom of each and every one of your posts.

Knowing all the nitty-gritty details about the system we are working with can be EXTREMELY important when overclocking one of these mobos to the max.

Then I don't have to depend on this aging grey matter to remember, or search for, or possibly even make some WaG (wild-assed guesstimate) about what your system specs might be, each and every time I reply.
I hate having to search back through the entire thread just because I'm not bright enough to remember what CPU, or memory type, you were running... you follow me?

Let me know if i left anything out.

I will condense all the info into a better organized arrangement that doesnt scoop up so much space as soon as i get a chance again.

The new release of Ad-Aware SE has me pretty swamped for awhile handling everyones issues and questions on the Lavasoft Forum as well as the many HijackThis Logs i analyze now as you might guess.

I will post up some temperatures so you have an idea of the heat readings also.

As always thanks for taking the time to reply and getting back to me with this request for the data you need to make informative decisions.

Keep up the good work.

skycom,

You could just do a 'copy & paste' of this...

M810LR v9.0M, Win98, BIOS ?????.rom ?, Duron 1200 @ ??°C idle/ ??°C load, 12.0x 105 = 1260, vid card (if any), memory used (i.e. 1x 256 PC133 on-board), and PSU specs (+3.3v=??A, +5.0v=??A & +12v=??A... Get that PSU info from the sticker on your PSU)

Will Do, i'll get that PowerSupply Info as soon as i can post it, might be a day or 2 but i will post back hopefully with everything needed to make decisions on.


Sorry for the delay, as you might expect the forum i'm on is totally awash with questions and issues and so consuming a great deal of my time at the moment.

One other thing i wanted to ask is this mobo M810L version 9 i have right now. Is all my video being handled alone by the onboard graphics? If so, what reasonable alternative external plug-in video card options do i have?


Thanks

Hello yet again MILT! and Super-Tech others!

Been away quite some time and just coming back to this thread n' topic to finish the work that was started months ago.

Maybe i can actually move forward on this now:

Feel free to drop any new news or update info that you think might be of some interest.

Checked the PCChips website and pulled in some drivers if for nothing else to have them on hand as spares since their dates reflect nothing very current as for as updated.

Regards SKYCOM

SIDENOTE:

Dropped to "Safe Mode Command Prompt" (Win98SE) and retried flashing to the HoneyX DM810L.ROM and this time receiving error: file not found

I'm going to Flash with this next: [b' ">http://www.freewebs.com/milt/P...ps_M810L_BIOS_Page.htm

Any advice? With all my expertise in other areas you are looking at a noob here.
Why is this file exe and the other rom?

C:>\flash dm810l.rom produced the red-light error

My next step will be C:>\flash 030103s.exe is this correct?

I'll wait for the expert go ahead before launching into this next phase:
Thanks

WRONG!

The "error: file not found" is usually caused by an incorrect BIOS name entry, or, the BIOS that you want to flash is not in the same folder (or partition... i.e. C:\ that your flash utility is located in.

The 030103s.exe is a self-opening *.exe file
Double-click on it, to get the 030103s.rom file that you need.

Then, the correct command from C:> is...
FLASH 030103s.rom

But, I expect that you will get the same "red-light error"
It's because you are changing from the 'C' or 'M' series of BIOSes (the ones that have a soldered-on Duron), to the 'regular' BIOS, that you are getting that error.

You may need to use the other flash utility from my BIOS page in order to 'force' this flash on your v9.0M

Hi skycom, Milt, Matt (MD),

The "longer screws" thing depends on the thickness of the the base of the replacement heatsink. The one such swap I did, took the original screws just fine. But I know others have had to use longer screws.

They are meant to be an all in one solution, sort of like when you buy a car

Although some of use like to build our own cars...you should see some of Milts !

Some of us should be so lucky? Maybe in the future they might consider soldering all the memory chips and even the BIOS chip while they are at it huh?

It was started that long ago but you will find most everything posted in it is still very current and will apply to today.

Hi skycom, John, Matt,

This thread is now well over a year old, and is three pages long, going on four.

So far, you have made one failed attempt to flash your BIOS.
That's it.
Nothing else.
After a year, and three pages of help, from some of the most knowledgable PCChips 'techies' on this planet.

Get your act together, and do something... ANYTHING... or you are going to lose my interest completely, and very soon...
