PC hardware--CPU & Motherboard & RAM - Flash BIOS


Expert: Ricardo Agudelo - 6/12/2009

Question
Dear Expert,

My question is how to flash the BIOS.

My motherboard is EPOX 8RDA3I and I have a the WinFlash.zip, 8RDA3I472.bin files

Thanks in advance

Answer
Hi Mufid,

Here is what the manufacturer says about flashing the BIOS:

To successfully flash the BIOS you will need AWDFLASH.EXE v8.22a or newer. Older flash tools will corrupt the BIOS and leave the board dead. Please ensure to only download BIOS updates for our boards from an official EPoX website. Please note BIOS update files are not interchangeable between the EP-8RDA and EP-8RDA+

My best suggestion is make sure you have the right files before even try to start; read again the last sentence of the previous paragraph. Flashing the wrong BIOS file will render your MB a useless dead weight with only a chance if you send it back to the factory. Go to the manufacturer's website (http://www.epox.com) and click in Support>Downloads button.

Ricardo
