GA-k8NXP-9 BIOS update failed - BIOS Write Protection Error!
I tried to update my GA-K8NXP-9 board from F4 to new F5 BIOS. I used
Q-Flash and @Bios but I always got the error message: "BIOS Write Protection!". How can I disable the BIOS protection? Is there a other way to update the BIOS? Thanks Herb |

How can I disable the BIOS protection? Is there a other way to update the BIOS? Thanks Herb There is an option in BIOS for this, it should be set to "Auto". I belive it's called BIOS flash protection. I have F5 and it's perfect, i use a floppy and install the old fashioned way. |

I have a similar sort of issue.
I used @BIOS to upgrade to F5. It all went OK I was prompted to reboot the computer. Since, I have rebooted the PC the sound devices have all gone. When I go to Control Panel - Sound Devices, it says t here are no Audio Devices. Also, when I try and go to @BIOS program now, it displays an error message "Unknown Flash Type or BIOS Write Protection". Can someone please help? :cry: K. |

Is there a other way to update the BIOS? Thanks Herb No, It worked fine but it kept your motherboard more protection like secuirty as it has shieldware on it -- when you want to update latest BIOS then go to BIOS and change from Enable to Auto and then save it and the reboot and update BIOS and then reboot as it go back as deafult so you need adjust the BIOS,etc.. and turn the BIOS from Auto to Enable to keep it protection which to stop someone trying to mess your PC at back door as Ive worked it out and it still ok as it kept secret with the BIOS ID and it marked as "Unknown" to stop to show the BIOS numbers if somone see this which is good one.. my PC still at F5 which is lots faster with my FX-55 San Diego and the F7 seem slighty too slow to boot up, so use F5 and leave it.. You got nothing to worry about it as you still same boat as mine... that mena your PC stay protection and the BIOS stay protected from damage, etc.. -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/Gigaby...pict55221.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Thanks. I had to manually set the device to enable in the BIOS as you
say and it worked. K. |
