My newly built computer has been randomly rebooting every twice a week or so and after a few hours of memtest86 with no errors I believe it may be the BIOS.
I lack a floppy disk drive so I must resort to using Winflash even though I have heard it is a bit unsafer. The instructions on the DFI website are as follows:
1. Please restore zip file to floppy disk and must run "autoexec.bat" in Dos mode. (The "autoexec.bat" combines with specifical parameters for Awardflash must be run)
2. If users do not have floppy drive in their computer system, Please update BIOS by using Winflash Ver. 1.84 and In Winflash Ver. 1.84 program, please click on "Update all" in "update options" area and"Clear CMOS" in "CMOS options" area.
3. Please notice that if users do not follow the instruction listed above unpredictable symptoms might occur to the system.
However, they are not as clear as I would like. Do I check "Update All", "Clear CMOS", and then simply click on the "update BIOS now", locate the BIOS, and go? Could someone who is familiar with Winflash please provide some clearer instructions? I just don't want to make any mistakes with my BIOS.
Thanks guys.
