Calm down dude.. never be rude to the moderator..

Here's some solution you might be interested..
1. My guess is that the board manufacturer might have use some form of BIOS lock to prevent users from flashing the BIOS..
2. Try to use the BIOS flash utility provided by provided by your board manufacturer..

You are not the one having this problem.. most Gigabyte 9550 users seems to have the same problem as you too.. here's an example.. http://forum.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=1430

hmmm. , my card gets the same.... odd indeed, thought it might be only the Gigabyte cards... odd that there are articles on this, but hence you cannot do it...

you might want to try the Omega Drivers, as they can unlock your card so you can overclock if that is what you are looking to do. I got my 9550 (overclocked) to a 3480 3D2K3 score... but i also ordered a Zalman Heatpipe for it to help cool it so i can overclock and leave it that way... right now i am running

300 core/ 225 mem (stock HS) once i get my heatpipe installed i will experiment with the overclocking some more...

good luck ( I guess just don't put "help" in your topic title ) there is a sticky on that...


((ati.bob .... I see you have a Saphire 9550 ...did you run flashrom to flash the bios, and what kind of mem do you have in your card ?))
