Gigabyte dually help needed

[dwdawg]

I have two Gigabyte boards with bad flashes

Anyone out there with a DPXDW-P or DPXDW feeling adventurous enough to hotflash a couple bios chips?

Four more CPU's waitin' to crunch....

I've sucessfully hotflashed the bios for an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe using an A7N8X-X board, there is a switch with the awdflash utility to force the flash regardless of what board its in, i dont think youd need to flash it in specifically a GA7DPXDW board, try it in another board with an acceptable BIOS socket.

I actually got desperate with an Iwill Xeon board that way. Tried to flash an Iwill DPI533 bios chip in an Asus A7M266D

Bios flash program just giggled at me though

Not to laugh at your misfortune, but that story made me giggle too.

Fold On!

did you find the commandline switch that forces the flash even if the checksum of the flash file doesnt match the bios?
