I am a pretty competent guy with all things hardware and mobo usually but like it says above I need to update my BIOS as it seems that is the source of a few of my problems - When I try 1005a I get the following message in aflash:

Checksum of 1005a.bin is 24F4

Continue (Yes)

Erases chip fine
Programs 1fff and 3fff seemingly OK

Then "Address (11338h) - Expectd (70h), real (50h)
Error - Data Compression Failure"

I get a similar message for the 1005 BIOS too but the addresses are different - I then reprogram the original 1004d BIOS fine?

Do I have a duff board? Has this happened to anyone else? How did u get round it?

Thanks

I guess not then - damn this board nearly always has someone who has made the same cock up as me in the past :)
