How to flash bios.

BIOS is part of the software of any computer that defines the boot course and starts before running the operating system. Its settings you can identify a number of key points in the functioning of the computer, so they are important to know any user. Bios can be part of the software console, but in this article we will consider only examples for standard PCs.

The BIOS appeared to solve a complex paradox concluded in the fact that when loading in the computer's operational memory there is no operating system - it is on the hard disk. Therefore, the basic I / O system executes the function you need. The BIOS also initializes the connected devices - keyboards and mice, drives, network cards, all kinds of motherboard controllers, etc. If their performance is broken, the system can display data on the screen or notify the user by the audio signal. For example:

Also in the BIOS settings contains the following information:

calendar date and system time;
the ability to reset to factory settings;
connecting COM and LPT ports, obsolete hard drives;
acceleration of load by disconnecting pre-tests;
priority download from media;
work on the search for some errors;
wide ability to overclock the equipment.

In which cases may require a BIOS flashing? They are not so much. First of all, it is a loss of computer performance (if you have an error screen like "BIOS ERROR"). However, it happens that those who are embedded in the new Mattoplast team are quite raw due to the manufacturer's hasty. Therefore, it may require update the basic system from Windows, DOS or from under it itself. Conduct this process is possible in the service center by means of a reprogrammer. Take into account the fact that the procedure is able to damage the CMOS chip. Dual BIOS schemes are more reliable.

To flash the BIOS, a system disk or diskette will be required. It is created using the program "

BOOTDISK ". Swing, unzip, open the .exe file and press the "CREATE" button. Now just add two additional files on a floppy disk

the image of the bios and the firmware program. Next, load from the received floppy disk, run the flash drive (flash driver) and specify the desired file in the window that appears. If the archive attached above is used, then this is AMI8D10007.BIN. Click "Enter", and the computer itself produces all the procedures. After completion and restart (if the problem was in a defective BIOS), a fully operating system should be downloaded.

In some Biosa, there is a built-in update function. Just looking for the "Update" item and click on the appropriate string. An alternative firmware method from paragraph 4 - Using the Q-Flash utility, which has a more advanced interface and allows you to specify where to look for a BIOS image. And a few words about where to take firmware and images. It is better to always keep in mind the brand of the motherboard and take the necessary software from the manufacturer's website, for example, marked Firmware.. The above programs and files exist only for familiarization and work with a fee. DFI NS35-TL.

If the flashing failed and the computer does not turn on - this is not a reason to write it off with accounts and buy a new one. Contact the service center. It is possible that the problem will be solved using the programmer in just half an hour.
