Acer E380, MCP61PM-AM REV1.0 HT 2000, Bios R01-A4, Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 3GB Ram Asus HD 5450 1GB Silent, Windows 7/32
New at this forum posting stuff so please bear with me.
Tried to update the R01-A4 to the R01-C0 using Acer's winflash and got a message that update could not be completed because jumpers were locked. End result bios chip done , new one ordered and in the mail.
Would like to flash the new chip when I get it with the M613Z_19 bios so that I can upgrade ram to 6gb and install win 7/64. I have floppy drive and have made a boot disk with the awardflash.exe and modded bios.
So my questions are
1) Is this the correct way to enter the flash command where ? = space
AWDFLASH?M613Z_19.BIN?/py?/sn?/cc?/cd?/cp?/wb?/r?/f
2)Does anyone know where the locked jumper is. The only jumper on the board that is shorted is the 1/2 pins of the clear CMOS jumper, does the cap need to to be removed it, or is there something in the bios that needs to be disabled. I don't want to toast another chip.
3)I noticed that Silka had to remove his PCI-E card after flashing to get the system to boot. Is this something that everyone with a PCI-E card has had to do.
4)With the new bios will the board accept 65W AM3 processors, since that is all I seem to be able to find for sale.
Thanks to any who answer[/size][/font]
