: : : hello, have a m748lmrt, and want update the bios, i download the files, but...now..HOW i do update,helpme plese... I have Windows ME
: : This is my third try to post this reply, so please excuse if the others come through too.
: : DO NOT FLASH your BIOS while running any windows Operating System. That will misflash your BIOS and it will take you a couple of weeks to figure out how to fix it.
: : WRITE your BIOS identity string on paper (you will need it to replace the BIOS)
: : WRITE your CMOS settings (Yes, ALL of them) on paper. You can't "restore CMOS" if you can't boot up!
: : Visit:
: : http://www.amibios.com
: : Download AMIFLASH.zip
: : Read the two files included with the flash programs.
: : Run your computer on a UPS while flashing the BIOS
: : Use the "Quick Flash" method to flash your BIOS.
: : Reboot, enter CMOS Setup, choose optimal, default or equivalent settings, save CMOS and exit.
: : After you are satisfied your computer works with default settings, enter the CMOS settings that you prefer.
: : Good Luck,

It sounds like either a mis-flash or you flashed with the wrong BIOS update. Use the AMI Quick Flash Method to re-flash - maybe it will work on the second try. You may want to go to the beginning, make positive identification of your mainboard, model and version, especially version - all are important. You can use the AMI Quick Flash Method to recover, if you get either the right BIOS or find a copy of the old BIOS you had.
Make positive ID of mainboard:

You can find manuals, BIOS and drivers there, too.
If you need the old BIOS:

If all else fails:

Good Luck,
