i burned cd

ah, ok, then you use CD method, i'm using USB like i did with all my DFI.

using AWDFLASH biosName.BIN /cks/sn/py/cc/cd/cp/ld/WB/ch awdflash show that the block 1, 2, 4 and 5 aren't writable.
that's might be the problem.

i'm going to burn a cd hoping that this time the board start to work like she should work......

flash with cd till you get proper write

cd method don't update the first 20/25 blocks and unfortunately the corrupted/unwritable blocks are the #1, 2, 4 and 5.

edit: kitfit1 i flashed like you said without using autoexe.bat but nothing changed.
i can do everything but there is no f(l)ucking way to boot over about 220 MHZ of BCLK, and i don't think that i did something wrong.
probably i'll go for rma.

thanks for the help guys

The first 5 blocks are never writable Mafio, i don't know why, but it never causes a problem. The reason you may be "seeing" it as a problem is because you are using switches when you flash. You don't need to do that at all.
Just make shure the USB stick is bootable, put AWD Flash on it and the bios that you want to flash to. Boot to the USB stick, type awdflash and the utility will appear on the screen, then type in the Bin file that you want to flash too. It should then just flash as normal.
