GIGABYTE Modified Bios

[Acebmxer]

Sorry for the late reply but I don't have a working computer. I have tried Your advice but it didn't work. Befor cleaning CMOS I want to test the procedure from this page, then I will clean CMOS. I don't want to do any move that would make things worst.

The steps I provided should not may your problem worse, but you should try the steps listed here in post 2 toward the bottom of the post BIOS Flashing - A "How To ~ Qflash Guide"

Hello,
I got back to bios, using logitech usb keyboard and mouse plugged into the two USB ports above the motherboard. I upgraded to the F5 Bios more every time to enter the bios setup I have to disconnect everything that is plugged into the usb and leave only the keyboard and mouse. is to solve this problem?

thank you
Ricardo

Hi sorry about your keyboard and mouse problem but that is not what this thread is for. If you read the first post this thread is about modding bios's to update the Orom files. You would need to contact Gigabyte directly and discuss with them the issues you are having with your mouse/keyboard working in bios.

Sorry to hear about your problems. But I am sorry to say the modded bios will not help your problem if the original version does not help. I say that because the modded bios has nothing done to it for sound. The only mods done have been for Intel raid rom, Realtek lan rom, and the jmicron raid rom, You can see what has been updated for each bios on the first post of this thread along with a change log/patch notes saying what has been changed in the bios.

As for the file name that should be obvious ep45ud3p.11d (original file) ep45ud3pMOD.11d (modified file).

thanks for the quick reply
i don't know what can i do abt this problem... it happens once and i fixed it but i don't use the mobo for years so i can't remember how exactly i fix the problem and that comes around again now because i have a Q9550 and i decide to "revive" my old EP45

but thanks for your time sir... very quick answer

I tried it except for the Floppy Disk which I will try today. Up to now nothing was useful. During the weekend I will try this one. If you have any other idea how to repair the mobo please PM me. Anyway thank you for your help.

I sent a PM to LSDMEASAP to see if he can help with your problem. I dont think the bios mod should have caused this. I know the EP45 motherboards were plagued with boot loops but usally pulling the power cord or flipping the PSU switch stopped it.

Hi,
first thanks for the BIOS mods, nice job.

Have you heard about Marvell firmware 2.2.0.1125b ?

Available from : http://www.station-drivers.com/page/marvell.htm

I didn't test it personally.

I think this user has a few methods to attempt before RMA is needed. First I'd start with an extended clear CMOS, and then startup once that is done with only one stick of memory yadda yadda yadda (You know that drill).

If that fails, I'd next try (MANY TIMES) the PSU switch trick. That needs to be attempted many times by new users if they've never done it before, a few tried is not enough unless you already know how to time it right. I mean I know, and often it takes me a few tries, so it's just something you have to try many many times when your new to it before you can give in a say it doesn't work. Just be sure you explain that to him best you can, don't let him give up after only a few tries.

Third and last would be MAIN BIOS Short (You know, be sure it's MAIN). Short pins 5+6 and hold it, start the board and let it reboot cycle a few times or until you see the Logo and post screen start to come up. Once you see something on screen release the short and quickly enter BIOS or Qflash (Directly or from BIOS via F8) and update the BIOS via USB that you already have plugged in and ready with a regular non-modified BIOS. 4+7 short will also work, but 5+6 seems to be faster and easier to do without causing damage. He does not need to solder, just short with insulated metal (Paper clip, needle tweezers, ect) Be SURE you do not short 4+8 if trying the 4+7 method, it'll blow a trace instantly (Vcc+Ground). 5+6 is simple and the pins are right next to each other too which is what makes it so easy. Be sure to show him a diagram of the chips and explain which pins are which, if you need the PDF showing that you can get it Here from my mediafire

He may just need to fully clear out the CMOS, please insist that he try that for at least 8 hours (Preferably longer if he can) if a quick clear does not help, and be sure it's with no power, battery, ect. Not sure if he tried that yet, so just want to reiterate that should be first, short and long attempt, as it may just fix it up.

Try the few things LSD has suggested. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
