New BIOS chip ?

How do I get a new BIOS for the AN78x-E ?

CanI buy any compatible memory chip and have it flashed
locally ? ?

TIA

As I assume the mb is new, does this mean you fried it?

I flashed it with BIOS 1010e. Then it would open correctly once.
I used 2setup default". It read 133MHz. Made usual changes.
Then it would start with a warning about overclocking.
The keyboard was no longer available, so I could not enter
the Bios.
After a few attempts the CPU was fried.
I now use my older motherboard.
Won't won't move my present CPU to or buy a new CPU until I get a new BIOS
for the AN7.
1008e

I must add, I have always flashed my motherboard BIOSes to all new versions
without any problem.

I don't want to gloat, but maybe with your next mobo you should _not_
flash your BIOS when there's no necessity for it.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. I hardly believe there was a need for
you to flash bios each time with each new version.

Of course. But I like to experiment.

Hi,

Sorry to here you misfortune. I believe the answer is yes.
Try a google on the hot flash method and look for links to other methods.
You will want to hot flash you new bios chip in another AN78x-E mobo.

Get a new chip and an appropriate type of IC Puller, learn how to pull the
chip out of your existing mobo IE use the current stuffed mobo as the guinea
pig. It is so easy to stuff the pins on these chips. When you are confident
you can pull / insert / flash a new bios then start the method. On the new
machine while running DOS insert the new chip and write it in place. Test it
and leave it there. Use the orignal chip from the working mobo in your own
mobo. This will only work if the two mobos are same make, model and major
revision level otherwise you will have to put the original bios chip back
in.

Do you know how you burnt your CPU? If you don't then think twice about
putting a new CPU in.

Jack at www.badflash.com will have a new chippie to you in a couple of
days.

Thanks. That appears to be a good address, and not expensive.
I now have to open the computer case and get a;; required information.
