Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 BIOS F6 @ Petar and Shay_g Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 BIOS F6. I tried updating using all three of your modded BIOS's but with no luck. In all three cases, after the BIOS was flashed, the checksum of your modded BIOS was rejected and reverted back to the original Gigabyte BIOS. This is not a fault by you guys. I think that there must be a checksum within the new BIOS, this is checked upon restart and if there is any difference, then the old BIOS is restored. (This must have been what happened to Solracna's board). The boards are not bricked, they just reject the new BIOS. I guess that the only way around this would be to find the checksum within the new BIOS and modify that once the SLIC table has been added. Anyway, thanks for all your hard work, it has been much appreciated.
AND on Asus boards running 64 bit os's DO NOT USE ASUS UPDATE from within windows in a 64 bit system.. it can destroy your bios due to the fact of using 32 bit code within a 64 bit system, writing to the bios, can write corrupted blocks. its a real risk. USE AFUDOS FROM A USB FLASH KEY DRIVE OR FLOPPY ONLY!! make sure YOU ARE USING THE VERY LATEST VERSION OF AFUDOS!!
I've been looking the Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 BIOS F6. bios's checksum. Both files the original and the modded one have the same 8bit chechksum=00. What is cousing the checksum problem, I cant say. Maybe both chips needs to be flashed at the same time.
