updating bios

Hi,

I have a Intel D945GTP board with BIOS version 3869 (the full id is
NT94510J.86A.3869.2006.0519.1533) I am trying to update it and change
the processor. Unfortunatelly, I get an error during update
(overflow). I have tried windows update and with a bootable cd. Intel
also refers to update first to an older version (1788) and then to the
latest version. I get the same error when updating to 1788.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Try the recovery boot method, where you remove a specific jumper from
the motherboard and when you power the system up, it tries to read a
BIOS file directly from a formatted floppy or CD. There is no visible
feedback during the process, just some beeps as it updates. Exact directions
can be found on your motherboard's BIOS update page.
