"Karen Parker" wrote in message ... NO YOU DON'T.. What is the point in having the man BIOS at FJ while the backup is FI or FH?....explain that to me? If FJ is working perfect does it not make perfect sense to have BOTH BIOS version the same, i think it does. And you are wrong, the ITE, Intel and Sil BIOS have not been updated. As others have said....you got a beta BIOS that resolved your issue. Gigabyte have not introduced BIOS updates for everyone as yet. |

You have it all wrong After you Flash you reboot then set Fail Safe then Reboot Again Then set your Defaults. . Is this some 12 year that has hijacked his mums PC or something? |

At idle the CPU temp reads about 28 degrees which means the CPU smart fan control in the bios now actually does slow the CPU fan down, though not by much.

"Brendan S (Scratch User)" wrote in message u... Loading FJ bios renders my system unbootable. Rolled back to backup bios. sigh Brendan Works perfect for me Brendan, as stated...every motherboard/system reacts differently. If you flashed the main BIOS to FJ and are booting off the backup, you'll need to flash the man BIOS back to your previous BIOS. Yes I did. Although that may be the FH bios, so I might have to go reflash the FI bios. Brendan |

My RAM timings are 2,3,2,6 & the only thing I have not enabled is CIA. I flash the main BIOS, use it for 2 weeks, then flash the backup if I'm happy. NOT saying this is the proper way to go, just that it CAN be done. I AM happy with FJ, it seems to have cleared up a problem I had with my digital capture card, a real buss hog. It's running fine now (knock wood). Also, when I rebooted & logged on I was doing other stuff and was not paying attention. When I returned to the screen I had a message stating "Your new hardware has been installed successfully, you need to reboot ....". I don't know what it installed, used to know how to find out, but at the moment it escapes me. You do not have to set Safe Defaults beforE you flash unless you are using any Over Clocking or Enchantment modes, BUT YOU MUST SET THE FACTORY DEFAULTS AFTER YOU FLASH AND THEN REBOOT AGAIN BEFORE YOU SET YOUR OWN SETTINGS..

If you update the BIOS first, then the next boot You are booting with the same settings, all be it just into CMOS setup. I will give You it's a safer road to travel, never traveled it much myself though. If it were a "MUST" I wouldn't be posting this, not on this machine anyway. Skating Away... |

Richard,
"Karen" as he is calling himself these days does not own an 8KNXP rev 1 or rev 2. He (it is actually a he) claims to have had GB update a bios for 8INXP (if I recall correctly) to include the ITE update. He (his real name is Roger) seems to think that the bios for these boards is completely interchangeable and that by asking for 1 bios to be corrected that he is the New Saviour and authoritative champion! So, in short Roger (alias Woger, Woger MKII and about 200 others) is flame bait. - Tim "Richard Dower" wrote in message ... "Karen Parker" wrote in message ...

Yes I do have a New Bios from GigaByte, F11a.. LOL....if you have that mobo then you would KNOW that F11 referes to revision 1.0 of the GA-8KNXP. FH, FI, FJ referes to the 2.0 and 2.1 revisions of the board. ================================================== ======== Thank you for supporting Gigabyte products and contacting GBT Tech Support.
