    couldn't find an answer to my problem in the tread. i used the award tool 1.28 on gigabyte ga-965gm-s2 bios (both latest beta and final), used the recomended ssv3 method for adding slic 2.1, but everest showes me that i have slic v2.0 and asus in the oem id (even thogh i tried msi and gigabyte slics, and never the asus one). can anyone tell me if i'm doing anything wrong.

    p.s. mod were done on win 7 ultimate x32, and flashing was done throug the native qflash utility withing bios.

    regards,

    ~usdjan

    Loader.....It sounds like you have been using a loader.

    Remove all instances of the loader from your system...

    Tried this on my M3N HT DELUXE.

    Used the recommended Pubkey method for a award bio.

    Asus slic and asus Slp.

    Certificate verified fine.

    Click go and all works as it should.

    Flash with ezflash and reboot.

    Problem is that on reboot i end up with only 128 megs of memory showing rather then 4096/4095.

    All other aspects of the bio seems fine.

    What am i missing..is it a problem with ezflash or a problem with the method of mdding the bio?

    It shouldn't be a problem. Could you link to the BIOS so I can check the mod.

    Check if original bios is correct, if i saw correctly your link have bios 256k in size and original bios on asus page is 128k (for P5A-B model). Then you can choose to ignore those checksum warnings tool is giving them. Just check options, however, warnings are usualy there for a reason :D but since original bios is already giving them if you click "verify", then it might be ok...

    No, and my mistake, cause it is a fresh installed XP.
