    How much risk is there in flashing an AMI bios with the Windows Utility?

    The problem is that my machine runs "headless" with no monitor as a Windows Server and it's a great deal of work to switch out the only PCI-E video card I have to do this one thing.

    Best to flash from DOS, Windows 7 flashes have proven problematic for some. Winflash is ok from XP or variant.

    I've searched for this for hours, and attempted it twice myself! I need SLP and SLIC added please DELL.
    (Might require "Insert SLP string in IBM region" and/or "SSV3/Shrink 1B" and/or MMTOOL??)

    -Manufacturer: ASUS
    -Motherboard Model: M4A785-M
    -Bios revision: 0906
    -Bios Type: AMI
    -Bios Mod Request: DELL 2.1 and DELL SLP 1.0
    -Bios Download Link: support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?model=M4A785-M&f_name=M4A785-M-ASUS-0906.zip&f_type=3&os=17

    @primord Gigabyte makes certs, certainly to match their SLICs.......:rolleyes:

    Dell SLP 1.0 will work in the standard 000FE840h area...

    @flare4000 Why SSv2 mod??? May require a custom manual mod...if the tool SSv3 is not activating, SSv2 likely will not...We need a RWE or Slic Dump Tool dump after flash to figure it out if no activation after SSv3 at AMI bios...

    Why this question: "Might require "Insert SLP string in IBM region" and/or "SSV3/Shrink 1B" and/or MMTOOL??"
