OK...........I have installed the 12/26/2008 "Beta" Bios all works fine!

I made a specific point of checking for the "Garbled Text" And "Missing Options" In every single Bios Menu as well as Sub Menu..........No Problem with either is Present!

LAN Works well...........Cool & Quit working properly......NB Frequency Scales Upwards Without Issue.............The Bios is Fine further Testing is needed but None of the Issues that others have posted exists.


That leads me to believe that the Award Flasher is to Blame yet again for allot of Recent Issues in Bios Release.

I have always Downloaded the ZIP.Package and Extracted to a Formatted Floppy With Dr Flash on it and Ran the Manual Syntax Switching Commands

AWDFLASH.EXE R7LDC26.BIN /CKS /PY /SN /CC /CD /CP /LD /QI /WB /CH /E

The /E Switch takes you back to A:\Prompt and I repeat the Flash Once More to make sure the Previous Bios Code is overwritten Fully without incident.

I have Been using this Method since RGone showed it to me 2 years ago and have yet to have a bad flash yet!
