Hello,
I have a Gigabyte GA-M68SM-S2L motherboard here with an X2 5200+ CPU and an Athlon X4 635 CPU.
Works perfectly with the X2 5200+ as expected.
When I put in the X4 635, it works perfectly too...however it's not pofficially supported on my BIOS version, hence the processor model is "unknown" in both the BIOS and Windows.
I need the F9G BIOS and I currently have F6.
The issue is, they're not QFLash BIOS's (to my knowledge). They're .exe's you run in windows. To make things worse they require a 32 bit of windows.
I've tried windows 7 32 bit and windows 8 32 bit respectively. Using any 64 bit version fo windows returns a message saying a 32 bit version is required.
With windows 7 32 bit on both the X2 5200+ and X4 635, the .exe just crashes (even when I run as an admin).
on Windows 8 32 bit, it runs, but closes itself within 2 seconds.
I've tried the F7 and F8 BIOS's too for comparison, all return the same issues.
Any Ideas?
If they can be used via QFlash what type of USB Stick do I require? I use FAT32 but the BIOS fails to recognise that in the QFlash utility.
