Okay, so I acquired a motherboard... this thing should be a beast, however the guy I got it from failed to tell me he screwed up the bios flash procedure. Usually a big problem, however this is a GigaBit mobo with dual bios. If anyone knows how to fix this, or can fix this for me, I would gladly supply that person with a 6 pack of their favorite beer/ale/lager (assuming they are over 21, soda if under 21). The motherboard is a GigaBit GA-7VAXP Rev 1.1. The GigaBit web page for this board can be found here:

I know someone out there can help me. Thanks in advance.

Blaxican-----> this should be right up your alley Tim... help a fellow out, would you?

 

flash the BIOS, go to the gigabyte website or look in the manual. Google will help also. Try driverslab.com

 

the dual bios feature on gigabyte boards isnt actually 2 diff BIOSs, the 2nd is just the original, so you can reload it to the primary without needing a floppy or anything. on post i think it says press F9 or something for dual bios options. just follow the steps and you should be set

if you can't get passed this, I could come by and hook it up, shouldnt take more than an hour regardless.

 

Just saw this, Doug. Let me do a little digging and I'll call you when I find something.

 

I'm a big fan of Gigabyte products, so Im pretty familar with all the features, I can come by today whenever if you'd like. Try what I said first, it shouldn't be that hard.

 

Have you tried removing the cmos battery to see what happens?

 

What 83 stang said is right so try that if not get him over there, i would but im in nova
