Supposed to fix the 'C1' error bug... I hope.

**muzz** · 01-30-2003, 07:30 AM

Yeah I saw that..... maybe they'll fix the " I killed a bios bug in the next one........."

**PimpJack** · 01-30-2003, 02:54 PM

does it still have the magic helth at boot up? I like that

**tweaky** · 01-30-2003, 03:02 PM

It should do. I don't see a reason why they would take that feature out.

The new BIOS works great here, fixed the "remove power and have to reset cmos problem", I can also now make all the settings I want first time through after a cleared cmos, before I would have to do it in steps in oder to get to the mem timmings I use. Yes the health on boot is still there also.

Looks like it introduced a double posting problem, though

How can you tell that you have more stablity than ever? Did it just get you further through 3dMark than ever before?

**OPPAINTER** · 01-30-2003, 04:08 PM

I'll have to try it, if I can ever get past C1 at boot up

Hey I'd take c1...... better than my first board that went titz up...........

**Jeff** · 01-30-2003, 04:38 PM

If you try clearing the BIOS and it still gives you a 'C1' error, try taking out 1 stick of RAM. It's worked for me 3 or 4 times now.

Damn these 8RDA/+ boards are odd... but odd in a good way.

Heh I had that same problem last night....Was at 12.5x198. Cleared CMOS. No post: C1. Hold insert -> post. Then I had to back down to 190. Boot into BIOS, set to 194, reboot then work my way up to 198 again (then to 200 max for 3Dmark).

**Hallowed** · 01-31-2003, 02:13 AM

Better than 3117 by a mile, but still not on pace with 2C31. Faster in games tho, or it might be the new drivers.

**Method Man** · 01-31-2003, 03:52 AM

Whats up here???

I have flashed to ever bios that I have seen and this is the only one that has given me problems....

I tried flashing with the bootdisk method man its starts to flash and the a prompt will popup in the blackground and it will say waiting for ever, so I just rebooted.

I then tried doing the alt+F2 method and it says these bios are currupted or something and I should try redownloading them...well I tried redownloading them and I get the same thing.

I also tested to see if the bios chip got messed from flashing so many times or something and it flashed just fine to one of the older bios I had and back to 3117:smileysex

oh well I guess this is one bios I won't be able to test out

This new BIOS fixes my problem !

YAY !

**Method Man** · 01-31-2003, 03:56 PM

I got it to work

I had to go get the file from epoxes FTP and put UPDATE.BAT and RESTORE.BAT on the disk too and it all worked fine

**Method Man** · 01-31-2003, 04:11 PM

Hmm.....I don't think this temp reading is right.

I admit it is warmer in my room then it was last night but it is no 87F

**Method Man** · 01-31-2003, 04:12 PM

This is what I was getting last night......

**Method Man** · 01-31-2003, 04:14 PM

I wish you could attach more than 1 pic per a post....oh well this is what it looks like with the new bios

Cheers
