Note: If a USB keyboard does not work, try using a PS/2 keyboard. Sometimes, taking out the CMOS battery to clear the configuration settings or resetting the CMOS jumper switch to clear the CMOS may help too. Only the BIOS file is needed. For AMI BIOS recovery, the floppy disk does not have to be bootable and no flash utility is required. This procedure is also applicable with USB drives on most newer systems that use AMI.
ami bios rom file download
so i knoiw this is a stupid question but when you say rename the downloaded file, the one i downloased was a .zip archive, do you mean the actual downloaded file (the zip) or the extracted contents. Also inside the archive there is no file with a .rom extension and everywhere i look that seems to be the file that i need to fix my z77a-g45 booting again. something went wrong when i flashed the bios, i dont know what i did it the MSI way all the way through but now it wont even post, just infinite boot to post and reboot. funny tho if i put a jumper thingy on the display jumpers on the top left corner by the cpu, it actually tries to post but none of the display outputs show anything, my screen gets no signal from the HDMI VGA and the DVI
You will want to rename the file inside the downloaded ZIP that is the actual BIOS image. Usually easiest to tell which file is the BIOS image based on the file size (look for standard sizes like 1024kb, etc. (powers of 2))
Please refer to below to re-flash the bios:1. Download the BIOS again to ensure you have complete files. And rename the file "x10slmp5.424" to "super.rom"_ =/support/resources/getfile.aspx?ID=3200
2. Copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into a USB flash device or a writable CD/DVD disc's Root "\" Directory.3. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS binary image ("super.rom") and power the system down.4. While powering on the system, press and hold and simultaneously on your keyboard until the USB device's LED indicator comes on. This will take a few seconds or up to one minute.5. Once the USB device's LED is on, release the and keys. The system may generate beep codes to indicate that the BIOS ROM firmware is being reprogrammed. The screen will also display a message as shown below. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS! 6. When the Boot Sector Recovery Process is complete, the system will reboot automatically .7. When DOS prompt appear, please type AMI.BAT BIOSname.###. (Do Not rename any file!)8. Do not interrupt the process until the flashing is complete. 9. After you see the message of BIOS has completed the update, unplug the AC, clear the CMOS and plug in the AC and power on the system. then press F1 to go to the BIOS setup screen and press F9 to load the default and press F10 to save and exit."
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
With the ROM files, place the OPT495SX.AMI file into the ami386dx sub-folder under the roms folder. If the AMI386.BIN file is to be used, this file is placed into the ami386 sub-folder instead at the same location. The ET4000.BIN file for the video is simply placed into the roms folder itself. Now that the ROMs are in their correct location, execute PCEM.EXE to start.
Upon starting PCem, an error message will appear due to the lack of having a configuration file. When closing the message, a PCEM.CFG file is created, and the error will no longer appear provided that the file is kept as is. It will then appear to be starting up the virtual PC, using 4 MB RAM and CGA graphics by default.
-forceINT: This forces the boot manager to hook the INT 19h/INT 18h. If you have a PNP bios, then the boot manager does not use the PNP bios feature of the boot device sequence. The boot manager will be started before anyboot device is tried (when INT 19h mode is used) or the boot manager is the last program that is started when all boot devices failed to boot (when INT 18h mode is used).
Find the network option rom. It has the id 20, the name PCI Option ROM and the RunLoc number VendorID:DeviceID of your network card. Maybe there are other option roms in your bios. Take care that you choose the network option rom.
This should list all parts of the bios rom. I cannot give you the command to replace the rom. None of the cbrom programs where able to display the content of my bios rom file. You have to test it by yourself.
The best place to get a BIOS update is from your PC manufacturer's Web site, on the downloads page for your notebook or desktop PC, if you purchased a complete system, or for your motherboard if you built your own system (or purchased a "white box" PC from somebody else who builds them from stock parts).A good way to find BIOS versions and info is to use Google to search using strings like "download BIOS" for complete systems, or "download for motherboards. Thus, for the MSI PR200 notebook I just updated, I searched on "download MSI PR200 BIOS." This took me right to the MSI product page for the PR200 where the latest BIOS versions for Vista and XP were both available.You'll also need a USB Flash Drive (UFD) formatting tool that can create a bootable DOS image on that drive. This requires a special formatting tool, and DOS source files to make the drive bootable. For this task, your best bet is a tool called the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, V2.1.8. It not only formats UFDs to FAT or FAT32, it can also copy DOS boot files from any target directory you supply to this tool. Extreme Overclocking has a readily available download link. The .exe file is self installing, and adds the program to your Program Files directory by default.Of course, that means you also need a minimal set of DOS boot files (command.com, io.sys, and ms.sys at a minimum). Extreme Overclocking also makes the Windows 98 system files available in a downloadas well. Grab these files and put them in their own directory. I called mine DOS-boot.
Run the HP UFD format utility (this program usually resides in the Programs listing under the Start menu beneath a heading that reads "Hewlett-Packard Company.") Select the UFD drive you wish to use (warning! this process destroys its entire contents; if you need any files from this device, copy them to a hard disk before you start this process). Click the Quick Format checkbox, and also the Create a DOS startup disk checkbox, then click the browse button to the right of the textbox to identify the directory where you unzipped the Windows 98 DOS files. This produces a screen like the one shown in the first screencap.
The program creates a partition on the drive, marks it active (to make it bootable), then formats the drive and copies all the files from your DOS files directory. The whole process took less than 20 seconds for the 2 GB UFD I used to shoot these screenshots. Note: this is much faster than the XP or Vista format utility built into Windows Explorer; this tool is handy whenever you need to reformat any UFD. This produces the final report screenshot, which provides info about disk structure and layout.
Now, you must unzip the BIOS download and copy the necessary files onto the UFD as well. For my notebook PC, these came in an archive named 1221_148.zip. This archive includes all the files you need for a DOS BIOS flash, and only those files, as shown in the WinZip window. Simply extract these files onto the UFD and you're more or less done with prep. You'll want to inspect your BIOS download carefully, however, many of them include Windows BIOS flashing tools and other data files as well, along with a readme file to tell you what's what. Be sure to find out which files the DOS flash needs and copy only those files to the UFD.
Here you run the DOS dir command to list the files on the UFD, just to remind yourself about what to do. MSI thoughtfully provides a batch file named FLASH.BAT, which I will run in the next step to actually flash the BIOS. Here, you get a visual reminder that this is the right tool for that upcoming job.
Before you can flash the existing BIOS, which really means wiping out the old one and replacing it with a new one, you must back that existing BIOS up. Why? Because if anything goes wrong with the new BIOS you're going to install, you must have some way to return to the old version. This step lets you create a backup before making any changes. It's an absolutely essential CYA maneuver any time you mess with your PC's BIOS. Get in the habit!To make the backup, we'll use the flash utility included on the UFD. It's named AFU414sD. You make a backup by typing this command at the C:\> prompt on your PC: AFU414sD AMIBOOT.ROM /O (the final character is a capitol O, not the number zero). This copies your existing BIOS into a file named AMIBOOT.ROM (this name is important because if the new BIOS causes your PC to stop booting complete, AMI supports an emergency repair maneuver whereby you insert a floppy disk into your system, turn the power on, then hold down the CTRL and HOME keys until the PC beeps once to tell you it's loaded that BIOS file). Alas, this doesn't work on notebooks because so few have floppy drives (I experimented to see if this technique worked with a UFD, and it does not).Save the AMIBOOT.ROM file onto another drive as soon as you finish flashing the BIOS in the next step. This is definitely one case where your backup needs a backup!
After all the work that's gone before, this is pretty anticlimactic: all you have to do is type the name of the batch file, FLASH, at the command line, then hit return and it does the rest of the work. You really, really want to see a screen shot like this one when the process is finished because anything else could mean big trouble. That's why you should make sure any notebook is plugged in to a wall socket, and never flash a BIOS during a thunderstorm or at other times when the power might go out.If you get in trouble and the BIOS flash fails for any reason, as long as your system will still boot (at least to a UFD) you can probably get yourself out of trouble by reflashing the BIOS with your backup. You might want to search the Web for information on any error messages the BIOS flash utility shares with you, should that occur. You will also find the Wim's BIOS site chock full of useful information and helpful tools and diagnostic downloads.Should trouble rear its ugly head, it's important not to panic. If you can bail yourself out, you can always call the motherboard or system maker's technical support staff for help, or post to their online message forums. The people on the forums at Wim's BIOS are also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable as well. Just don't go bonkers and try to start changing a bunch of stuff until you have a very good idea of what to do next. If you try to restore your old BIOS and can't get it to work, that's a sign it's time to ask for help. 2ff7e9595c
