Hi everyone! Can someone tell me how update my bios licence on a AMI Bios who is on an AS-ROCK motherboard!
Thanks, Puss

Im not to sure about this kind of thing. Try and contact the manufacturer for info concerning changes.

It can be either extremely easy, or really difficult.

Steps that should be taken:
1. Find your motherboard on the manufacturer website, and download the latest BIOS version.
2. Put it on a flash drive
3. Restart your computer
4. Enter the BIOS by hitting the button. It could be DEL, F12, or something like that
5. Look around for the BIOS ReFlash Option
6. This is where it could be difficult, it might be as simple as declare the location of the BIOS flash, or you might have to manually flash it through DOS commands.
7.
8. Profit

Now that's just retarded. You don't need your BIOS to be a specific revision for windows 7 to activate...

[mrtrlt]

LOL.

tell us what os says when you try to activate it.

[Kenny_Power]

Sounds more like a hardware change and now your PC wont boot up If so you need a new copy of windows

Take the lazy mans option and take it into pc world

The BIOS is the thing that runs Windows. Windows cant startup by itself.

I know that O_o

It has nothing to do with windows activation. Check my forum sig. Some of my posts make little sense

It starts windows, doesn't run it.

Well in the terms i was using it runs windows (ie: starts it up) so that it can perform by itself after it has been loaded

One does not simply achieve this level of retardation.

The BIOS is a part of CMOS that allows the computer to boot up, and for you to change parameters, now if you wanted to "Buy a new BIOS", you have to buy a new CMOS chip (which isn't sold for consumers) and you basically fuck the whole motherboard because it won't work.
