"The program file's BIOS lock string does not match with your system"

All is not lost. I've done business with a firm that sells new roms with your choice of bios versions for about $20.00. fhttp://www.badflash.com/ Check 'em out.

You said you have 8K7A right? make sure you didn't download like an 8KTA bios or something.

nope .. i got the right ones

 

[ericlp]

You could try this....

Type A:\awdfl783m BIOS file /py /sn /cc /r /ld to start the BIOS flash program.
/py programming yes
/sn save file no
/cc clear CMOS
/r restart
/ld Load BIOS default

do a X.exe /? first to see what is available to you.

Good Luck!
