Hi,
Right. I bought a RX-480 gfx card and like so many people who have my Mobo the gfx card is not being recognised until you update the bios.
So I went to foxconn site selected my board and downloaded the newest bios - http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000520
I created a flash USB and moved the files to it. I then booted my pc from the USB and used the AFUDOS program to run the .ROM file which is titled "C29F1P03"
It then read the file and said something,like "Error - Given ROM file does not match existing BIOS"
Now the existing BIOS on my machine is actually from a different series: A48N1S01 August 2011.
I cannot find this for the life of me, and the series under my board is the F1P series (e.g.c29F1P03).
I have heard that you can trick your motherboard into thinking its a different model by forcing a bios on it which I think may of happened.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? (I dont want to brick the system). Is there a way to force the update BIOS onto my system?
Is it actually possible that my board is different to what It says (it actually says its h67m-s/h67m-v/h67 in my BIOS screen). If so, would force flashing the BIOS from a similar model e.g. the H67M-v work or will it brick the system?
Thanks people!
My system:
I7 2600 + stock cooler
FOXCONN h67m-s/h67m-v/h67 motherboard
750X novatech ATX power supply
8GB DDr3 ram
250GB SSD
