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

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

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
when i start up my pc on, i log in on my acc ( type in the pass ) it pops out smthing that says : Activate Windows now!. i click on that and it says to type in my key i do that i click next and i wait some time and it says : error code( somthing) i click on see more it says : windows cant activate cuze your bios licence is out of date

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.
well i did it with windows loader. Thanks for all the help :D
