    NEED HELP! Possible to Add P4 Prescott Support to this Board?


    I have a Sony VAIO PCV-V200G (ALL IN ONE) Desktop PC which uses a s**tty proprietary board made by ASUS, called Pizza, with no Bios updates ever avalible from sony.

    Infact someone requested to had this BIOS Modded I can't add URLS so I quoted his text and attached BIOS Files...

    Quote "ASUS inside Sony PCV-V1 Can someone help for the following BIOS? - I've been struggling with it...

    -Motherboard Manufacturer and Model : Sony PCV-V1)
    -Bios Revision : 2001 'PIZZA'
    -Bios Type : Award
    -Bios SLIC : Not present
    -Bios Link : Not available on VAIO link

    System date: 21 Nov 2003
    Chipset: SiS651
    Socket: 478

    The PC is Sony VAIO desktop, but the motherboard is an ASUS and can perhaps be flashed with another BIOS?" End Quote


    My Northwood P4 2.8 died, I have a prescott CPU I put in, but didn't post, needs a BIOS update.

    Can anyone help?
    Can send you some cash via paypal if you get this working!

    Thanks!

    Good morning :)
    I own an Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H rev. 1.1 and I've already got it working with F11 modded bios succesfully and activated in Windows 7. However, I do need to upgrade to a X6 processor and they're supported on F12B bios only. Somebody have already modded it with Gigabyte Slic and cert. ?

    More info:

    Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H Rev. 1.1
    Manufacturer: Gigabyte
    Motherboard: GA-MA78GM-S2H
    Bios Type: AWARD
    BIOS Revision: F12B
    Bios Link: h ttp : / / download . gigabyte. eu / FileList /BIOS/ mb_bios_ga-ma78gm-s2h_f12b.exe

    (just remove the spaces from the link)

    Thank you in advance and have you people a good day :)

    Thank you a lot :)

    I will try it for sure but I have some questions:

    I already have the F11 bios modded and running. Do I need to unload the cert. in windows 7? If yes, how can I do it? Also, may I do directly update to this modded F12B or do I need to flash with the original F12B first? Also, it is safe to update it using the q-flash utility (built-in gigabyte flasher in bios setup that allows me to update it using a pendrive, just like asus ez-flash)?

    Once again, thank you very much :)

    If you have F11 with Gig2.1 Slic, then do not need.
    Flash F12b bios, then after reboot, flash F12b with Slic.
    I usually use for bios flashing the FLASHSPI utility from bootable Floppy or USB Flash.

    Well, I did the flash now and it worked perfectly :)

    Also, just to give you a proper feedback, I plugged an old hard disc and did a clean install of windows seven and I was able to install the certificate with no errors and even to validate windows in MS site.

    Thank you a lot for your help :hug2:
