    First time, need to check my work.

    Does this look right to you guys? I used the Award ISA method. I don't want to flash my bios if this is wrong.

    Am I the only one who has not been able to patch the latest Asus bioses?
    After inserting the slpmarker and key with Cbrom and then flashing to the modded bios I only see ~127MB usable RAM in the bios. The previous versions(to which I've had to downgrade) work well.

    I've had this issue with M2N-SLI Deluxe, M2A-VM and M2A-VM HDMI.

    Have you tried to reset CMOS with a jumper if there is one? I looked over my mod and don't see any problems with it.

    When you get the system back, there are 3 different isa.bins out there I wonder which one you tried.

    edit. Also when flashing sometimes you must tell the flash program to reset cmos for it to work.

    The System is up again by shortening the main bios. After that the DUALBios recovers the faulty one and here I am again. I flashed with "reset CMOS" option, cleared the cmos manually and also tried qflash. No luck so far.

    I used the ASUS isa.bin from the first post "For Award bios - Method 1 - Easy Auto Method" NISA-ALLOEM.rar file.
