No Problem. If you can't get AwdFlash to work you might have to use WinFlash that comes with a lot of HP Award Bios updates. If you can't get AwdFlash to work let me know and I'll post WinFlash from HP for you to try.
Well AWDFlash was working perfectly fine earlier so I don't see why it wouldn't work fine again after I let my computer cool down. Do you have to boot into WinFlash from the DOS too?
WinFlash works in Windows but personally I would try it from Safe Mode. There is a MUCH higher Risk that the OS will interfere with it while flashing, so Flashing from DOS with AwdFlash is always recommended when possible.
