In need of a good guide for Win 7 64 bios flashing

Evo85 · Apr 14, 2011

Title says it all. I am flashing an XFX 5770 to an Asus 5770 Bios and wondered if anyone had a link to a good guide of how to do it when using Windows 7 64 bit OS? Not even sure that it is a different process from Windows XP to be honest.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK you usualy boot into Dos and flash from there.... not inside windows.

For Asus you can flash the motherboards bios using windows but thats it. Others are in dos.

but you want to do it in dos your taking a big risk doing it in windows.

No ! Asus have the bios protection feature that reboot the bios in case of fail and its fully protected. The software is called Asus Update and comes with many mobos now if not all. It was on my m3a78-cm and after on my m4a785-m and keep going on.

Go read on it its really well made

i think this is a VGA flashing question. not motherboard.

Yes so what? It was bios stuff anyway

but its irrelevant to the topic at hand. this is in the graphics card section of the forums and he's asking about graphics cards.

on topic, as was said above: do it in DOS. flashing in windows may work 99% of the time, but that 1% will end up with you having bricked hardware... and you'll need to go the DOS route to fix it anyway. might as well start there.

bootable DOS flash drives are piss easy to make, i have a 128MB flash drive here with every flashing tool i've ever used and backup BIOS'es from my video cards and mobos.

Thanks for all the response.

I guess i should be a little more clear in my question. Last time I did this was in Win XP and I used the bootable USB drive route. Wasn't sure if that was the same procedure to make in Win 7 or not.

Sorry for not being clearer. Late nights do that to me.... lol

since its done in DOS the OS used is irrelevant. no harm in asking the question.
