I just had similiar issues flashing p4p800 deluxe to 1007 using Afudos. I lost video and switched cards and it said the bios was corrupted. I reflashed with the crashfree bios using 1007 and somehow it took, I put back in the original video card and everything works. Since I don't like that kind of workaround I don't think I will update the bios any further unless a serious problem occurs that is fixed by an update. Same problems while updating to 1007. AFUDOS must _not_ be used with Bios 1007 (p4p81007.ami from asus international site http://www.asus.it/support/download/...4P800%20Deluxe ). But: How to update to version 1007? Version 1006 brings an installer with it... -- Best regards/ MfG, Gustav Medler |

First, download new bios, 1007 or the beta version 1008.004 for P4P800. Then unzip the file into a folppy disk, rename it to P4P800.ROM, and at boot, press Alt + F2 to use EZ-Flash. The flash will automatically read the file P4P800.ROM, and flash it. Then, reboot, press DEL to get into BIOS settings, ( you can see the new bios version is on screen now ), load the default settings, save, reboot. To make sure I do not confuse, each original bios version is in the same floppy; i.e., I have the 1007.zip and its file as P4P800.ROM in one floppy; and in the second floppy disk, the beta 1008.004 is with its unzipped one with the name P4P800.ROM; so I can know which is which.

dear all
I flashed my bios from 1005 to 1007, by using afudos, before checking the threads in this newgroup. Luckily I dun have any trouble in flashing, everything's fine. A long long time ago I experienced trouble in flashing the Asus K7M motherboard. The flashing failed and the PC failed to boot. But I noticed that it would be safer if before flashing: (a) to load the default bios setting first, dun overclock the PC; (b) save the flash program & rom file in harddisk. Then after booting the machine with a bootable disk, change directory to the harddisk folder with the flash program & rom file, run the flash program. It appears that I've no trouble since i follow such procedure. This time for flashing my new P4P800DX (bought becus my K7M MB is out of order..time to upgrade after almost 4 years), I also followed such procedures & it works. I duno whether it actually functions but i dun like going back to the dealer and wait for a long time for getting my rom back. "Maximus" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g...
