    Yen Thanks for all the information you provide here do you know where I might find the latest version of modbin 2.04.01 every time I try and save the BIOS file with modbin 2.01.02 it saves the BIOS as 1,025KB do you know if version 2.04.01 will fix that or is it something else I am doing wrong? :(

    Thanks

    It's an issue that occurs when modifying Gigabyte bioses.
    Modbin adds TWO more bytes to the bios. You can simply delete them.

    After that you are able to re-open the bios.

    I've never tried to flash such a bios and I don't know if latest modbin is reliable for Gigabyte bioses.

    The issue persists at latest modbin 2.04.01, found at bios tools thread...... but it is able to handle the new modules

    ......older versions of modbin cannot rebuild / recalculate entry points of newer (sensible) modules such as PPMINIT, MMINIT, or other memory related modules.

    Don't use older versions......
