Hi markusof, at least we're making progress! The isa mod works for most people. Do you have vistaloader or other boot loader installed? That would override any bios mod and cause it not to work. If not, there are some different oem mods we can try.
I haven't even went into windows but after a half decent flash to see a slic, which was not there, I think it was the one a guy did with the automated tool. I am flashing from dos with usb stick.... works great now that I have awd883.... If we can get around this checksum error... I will have to look at the last post to see If I see a SLIC Thanks I've retried them all with no avail...
Here's an oem mod you can try: This one is EPA at bottom, OEM where EPA was. Update: Link removed. That one wouldn't flash. Posted a new one with same checksum as original. See later post(s).
Motherboard Manufacturer and Model : EVGA 112-CK-NF77-A1 (630i) - Bios revision: 1.6 - Bios Type : AWARD - Bios SLIC : ??? Invalid Rom code 51
markusof, did you try with awd883? Maybe awd893 included in the link above isn't compatible either. Also flash the original bios and reboot before flashing the modded one if you aren't using the original already. Edit: I noticed the original bios has a 8-bit checksum of "51". I'll update the modded version to match this.
I have flashed & it is FINE no errors with awd883. I have to remove bootloader..... so I can see if Slic is there
Sorry to hear it didn't worked... Anyway it is nice that your board has a backup bios, so you were able to recover... If you want me, I can atempt another mod, but I will need a ACPI Scope report. Install and open ACPI Scope. Go to File-->Load-->ACPI Information-->From BIOS. Save it as ats file and upload please.
That's good news, markusof. Did you use the one with the updated checksum? If you're flashed and booting with the new BIOS then you're past the hard part. The slic shouldn't be a problem.
