Default Re: Bios Beep Signals

TOOLS OF FLASHING UNDER WINDOWS FOR ASUS BOARDS
This utility is available here => ASUS Update Utility

1) Check motherboard model to match current version of your bios as well as the date

2) indicates the bios to that you prepare has to install

3) after checking the model press on the button "Flash" an indication will announce you about progressi of old the bios especially not to stop unfolding.

4) After flashing new bios not to stop unfolding so refer above.

5) to finish it proceeds checking of new bios not to stop unfolding.

6) the automatically notched box indicates to you configuration of the setup (bios)

CAUTION: After clicking on flash button, await the end of flashing once finished it will ask you to start your PC again, at restarting reconfigure your setup.

Missed FLASHING?
It is not inevitably good sign...But we will see there are solutions to recover a CORRUPT BIOS

If your PC does not start any more after a flashING you have four possibilities then and some to solve this problem.

First solution
It is initially necessary to replace temporarily corrupt BIOS by a chip in good condition in order to reach DOS, to acheive this you can use a BIOS coming from another mother board, provided that the chipsets of these two charts are not too different. For example you can use the BIOS of a mother board 430HX for flashing a motherboard equiped with INTEL 430FX or 430VX BIOS. It is generally preferable that this BIOS comes from same motherboard marks than yours. Once your PC is on the way and under DOS, withdraw BIOS chip - note machine is under operation! reassure, you do not risk large thing: if the Shadow option is activated in BIOS substitution, BIOS is charged in memory and thus system does not need more EEPROM. Fact that reverts disconnecting an electrical connector. It thus remains you to replace the corrupt chip with reflashing.

Second solution
This is specific to Award BIOS. It is necessary initially to withdraw graphics board NCV and replace it by a ISA (to prevent that the BIOS of the card does not take care). Then, put the PC under tension; it will start booting of the Award BIOS. If you insert a diskette containing the utility of flashing and a file of instructions both valid, you will be able to carry out the flashing.

Third solution
This relates to INTEL charts equipped with a jumper "Flash Recovery". Shut down PC, position the jumper in Recovery mode. Boot inserting the bootable diskette to update. The BIOS has a block of nonerasable boot record which will enable you to start the machine. But the number of instructions of the block being very reduced, posting does not function. It is then necessary to follow the good course of operation via the loudspeaker system and the luminous diode of the disk drive. The emission of a beep by the PC and lighting of the luminous diode indicate that the system copies the code of Recovery in the BIOS. As soon as the luminous diode of the disk drive dies out, the process is finished. Later reposition the Recovery rider in its initial position and start again the normal procedure of flashing since DOS.

Fourth solution
Fourth solution consists in using a programme of EEPROM and finding somebody having the same board as you (or very near in the range to the mark). It will be then possible to programme a copy of EEPROM.

Solutions in bulk
Beyond the solutions suggested above, here are some whose chances of success are variable. They depend largely on the faith which you will put in this company (see the ultimate method for more details).

- Disconnect your PC Open it. Locate a pile button on the mother board and remove it. Await 48h. If that is possible, put your motherboard in configuration Clear CMOS/Clear NVRAM (see the handbook). Replace the pile. Replug the PC and, while pressing on the button of starting, "Booooot! Boooooot! Boooooooooooooooot!... "

- Make replace the chip of your BIOS (if your mother board deserves really such an expensive operation)
- Take the Yellow Pages and contact a repairer within Mumbai
- If nothing, nothing, nothing functions, take a large bag dustbin, put this faulty motherboard inside and pass to another thing
