| Abit KX7 boot up -- Award Boot Block BIOS Just installed the Abit KX7 I bought from Jakkerd, upon booting I receive this nice little message "Award Boot block BIOS" it then suggests to insert a diskette with a biosflash. Downloaded all versions from Abit.com.tw .. tried to flash.. Awflash.exe gives error "Unknown flash" ; and just sits there unable to flash the board, unable to boot the board. crap

| you've got plenty of mainboards around. hotswap the BIOS chip of the mainboard and flash it on another mainboard. OR: get the BIOS from a dead mainboard (most BIOS chips are the same), hotswap the chip of the KX7 and flash the new BIOS to the chip of the dead board it's really doable. |
