BIOS Flashing - A "How To ~ Qflash Guide"

[Lsdmeasap]

CMOS Checksum error is good, that just means your CMOS has been cleared. Choose Load optimized or enter Qflash and flash your BIOS. If you cannot press any buttons you need to get a PS/2 Keyboard and hook that up to use as this is likely the issue with your Keyboard not working in the BIOS

If you can still get to the BIOS or Qflash, or that CheckSum error page your BIOS is still fine you just need to get a working keyboard to make a choice

How about DualBIOS (GA-EP35C-DS3R)? I know what it is but ... does it mean I don't have to be afraid of @BIOS ? Does it mean I can try resetting my computer when flashing ? ;) (Just to test if it works :))

[Lsdmeasap]

No, it does not mean that. You can test trying those things if you like, but I would advise against it. Dual BIOS works sometimes, and sometimes not depending on various factors.

Done ! :D
2 hours of reading, preparing, praying, doublechecking, hesitating, again praying and it's done :) Quite easy and painless. Everyting seems fine and now I can use DES advanced :D
Thanks for instructions! Great tutorial!

P.S. I am especially grateful for tips because at first I wanted to do this by the book (manual) using @bios.

[Lsdmeasap]

Glad to see you had no issues! It is safe and simple once you know what to expect and how to go about things!

Good luck with your new BIOS (Just incase you are a overclocker)

Happy New Year!!
