This has to be the most useless motherboard Ive ever used. Wont even overclock an e8400 to 3.1ghz. Has around 4 options in bios, intel speedstep is completley screwed, no temp readings. If I do any benchmarks on pcwizard or everest it says the result is too low to be shown.
My only chance of salvaging this board is to try the bios update. Its an ISO file. Ive burned it onto a blank cd like XFX says and rebooted the pc. It loads windows 98, then goes onto a screen which displays
CDROM device driver for IDE (Four Channels Supported)
© Copyright Oak Technology Inc. 1993-1996
Driver version : V340
Device Name : xfx001
No drivers found, aborting installation.
Then aload of other random stuff about no ide drive abort or retry. Whats the fastest and easiest way to update the bios? I dont have a floppy drive. Been looking around the net but cant find a proper step by step way to update bios from a cd with a bootable iso.
Please help before I put a hammer through this mobo
