TM Program to flash BIOS. Method 1: We use GA-7VTX motherboard and Flash841 BIOS flash utility as example. Please flash the BIOS according to the following procedures if you are now under the DOS mode. Flash BIOS Procedure: STEP 1: (1) Please make sure your system has installed the extraction utility such as winzip or pkunzip. Firstly you have to install the extraction utility such as winzip or pkunzip for unzip the files.
English (2) Select the "Quick (erase)" for Format Type, and pick both "Display summary when finished" and "Copy system files", after that press "Start". That will format the floppy and transfer the needed system files to it. Beware: This procedure will erase all the prior data on that floppy, so please proceed accordingly. (3) After the floppy has been formatted completely, please press "Close".
(1) Please go to Gigabyte website http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/index.html, and click "Support". (2) From Support zone, click the "Motherboards BIOS & Drivers". - 35 - Technical Reference English STEP 3: Download BIOS and BIOS utility program.
English (3) We use GA-7VTX motherboard as example. Please select GA-7VTX by Model or Chipset optional menu to obtain BIOS flash files. (4) Select an appropriate BIOS version (For example: F4), and click to download the file. It will pop up a file download screen, then select the "Open this file from its current location" and press "OK".
files. (6) Please extract the download files into the clean bootable floppy disk A mentioned in STEP 2, and press "Extract".
English STEP 4: Make sure the system will boot from the floppy disk. (1) Insert the floppy disk (contains bootable program and unzip file) into the floppy drive A. Then, restart the system. The system will boot from the floppy disk. Please press key to enter BIOS setup main menu when system is boot up.

Are you sure to flash the BIOS? [Enter] to continue Or [Esc] to cancel? (4) The BIOS flash completed. Please press [ESC] to exit Flash Utility.
English STEP 6: Load BIOS defaults. Normally the system redetects all devices after BIOS has been upgraded. Therefore, we highly recommend reloading the BIOS defaults after BIOS has been upgraded. This important step resets everything after the flash. (1) Take out the floppy diskette from floppy drive, and then restart the system. The boot up screen will indicate your motherboard model and current BIOS version.
ask "SAVE to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)?" Press "Y" and "Enter" keys to confirm. Now the system will reboot automatically, the new BIOS setting will be taken effect next boot-up. AMIBIOS SIMPLE SETUP UTILITY - VERSION 1.24b (C) 2001 American Megatrends, Inc.
English Method 3: Dual BIOS / Q-Flash Introduction A. What is Dual BIOS Technology? Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS. B.

English DualBIOSTM Technology FAQ GIGABYTE Technology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newest “Value-added”feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-6OXET Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation. What’s DualBIOSTM? On GIGABYTE motherboards w6ith DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips.
Answer: DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOSTM technology simply means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS.
English III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work? Answer: 1. 2. 3. 4. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment. DualBIOSTM provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible.
2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOSTM technology examines the checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly. 3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard.
English Method 3: If you don’thave DOS boot disk, we recommend that you used Gigabyte @BIOSTM program to flash BIOS. 2.Click "@BIOS Writer Utility v.1.08q". Press "Tools" icon. 1.Click "Gigabyte Utilities". (1) Click "P". (2) Click here. 3. Please select @BIOS sever site, then Click "OK". (3) (4) Methods and steps: I. Update BIOS through Internet a.
