BIOS Flashing the K7S5A with AMI BIOS!!!

[majewski9]

I got the latest offical BIOS and I want to see if it can fix stability issues and such. I got the flasher and the rom on a winXP startup floppy. I tried to get it to work just like an award bios flash but it didnt want to work!!! How do you flas an AMI bios???

go to www.bootdisk.com and download the DRDOS bootdisk. Then you can select the a prompt and put in the aminflash # and the rom # like this aminf326 010911.rom Then enter; the aminflash is executable and will flash the program. or you can put the flash and rom on your hard drive.

Well the difference between Award and Ami is that the AMI flash programm needs the filename of the new bios to start. It doesn´t have a usermenue... Just enter:
aminf329 <name_of_the_bios>

Should look like: aminf326 010911.rom

Good luck!

I flashed the BIOS and wow!!!! It will finally work at 133fsb!!!! I havent tried my Radeon yet but with this old 8 meg rageXL card I have had it up and running for over 2 hours without a hiccup! I might cancel my RMA if it will stay stable for a night!!! I hope my Radeon will work!

I flashed mine and it rebooted mid flash by itself, not my k7s5a wont work. How do I fix this one?

btw bought the soltek board w/ 266a and love it....
