flash menu abit

[Thudd]

Has anyone used the abit flash menu to flash the bios?

Yes. Worked fine on my IC7. There was a thread about this here not long ago, and no one reported a bad flash.

Theoretically, you could have a problem if the power goes out or the computer freezes midway through the flash. For that reason, some people still prefer doing it in DOS.

Just flashed a BE7 BIOS to using the Abit Windows flash proggy. Worked great! As always, didn't bother to reset the BIOS jumper pins after flashing. Did have to reset some BIOS settings after the flash, though. It goes back to BIOS default settings.

I just used it today, there had been 4 bios updates for my IS7-E which I hadn't gotten around to doing. It worked like a charm- I did have to clear my cmos and retweak a few of my bios settings, but the flash was perfect.

you should really be clearing the CMOS after a flash anyway... many skip that step, I know...

And if you clear the CMOS, unplug the ATX main power cable from power supply to M/B first, before moving clear CMOS jumper.
