Thanks petar, currently I am trying to figure out the manual method of ami bios. I have run into a few that i couldnt use the ami auto methods because I was getting a locked error message when I ran the program. So I am assuming that the only way to mod it is manually, but the superstatic tutorials are a bit confusing(at least to me, I know Yen has explained it but the explanation runs across numerous posts) so i have been trying to work through them. Also because I run Vista64 I cant run ACPIscope so I can only rely on everest. I will take a look at the whole romhole issue that you pointed out also. ifndef
Time to Mod the Award BIOS Gee! Thanks a lot Mr @petar sir. Now, I'm gonna have to mod my bios, though I have to admit that I am a little nervous about doing so. Just afraid I might lose my motherboard because this is the only motherboard I have. If you no longer see me updating around this site, I would have probably bricked my board. Of course I do hope that won't be the case, because even though this board is just $60, still that's a lot of money I couldn't afford to loose. But considering the help that I will get from you guys, I'm sure everything will work fine. First time is always thrilling, not to mention pretty scary too. As always, thank you!
Are you shure you aren't using any soft mods ?? BTW. Can you make ACPI Scope report... Install and open ACPI Scope. Go to File-->Load ACPI Information-->From BIOS Save it as *.ats file and upload please.
The oem7 method always activates if flashed succsesfull. ISA metod is much safer (never seen a bricked board) and preferd to use as first option to mod. Avoid doing amnual mod if there are sensitive modules like PPMINT MINIT HTDLL. Try the ISA metod first if this modules are present. Which modules are you refering to ?? JPEG....??? This modules are support for the logo.
