Today, by refreshing BIOS to improve machine performance, creating a personalized computer has become a manner that computer players are familiar. However, the traditional BIOS refresh must be carried out under pure DOS, which is not easy to accept the primary players. In response to this phenomenon, MSI, Gigabyte and other companies have launched some software that refresh BIOS in Windows, but these software can only be used on some brands of motherboards, and some players still can't enjoy the convenience of refreshing BIOS in Windows. With fast. Since I have found the software in Winflash, the above troubles don't exist. This small software produced by Award can be run on all the boards that use the Award BIOS, which is convenient and quick to refresh the system's BIOS. The following figure is its run interface. The main part of the (Figure) The main section of the interface shows the current BIOS area distribution, including Bootblock, Mainblock, ESCD Block, and DMI Block. Among them, dark green regions indicate that the part is not refreshed during the refresh BIOS, and the light green area indicates the area that needs to be refreshed. Click on a mouse to switch it to switch its status as needed or do not need to be refreshed. The check box in the UPDATE OPTION in the interface on the interface also indicates the same function. The number of the motherboard BIOS is shown above the area distribution, as shown in the figure, "I815-W83627HF-6A69RAB9C-00". Through checking materials, we can know that this is an AOPEN AX3S motherboard using I815E chipset. I will introduce you to this Winflash software to use the BIOS that refreshes this motherboard. First, in order to be safe, we should save the current BIOS content before refreshing, click "Save Bios" in the "File" menu. The system prompts to enter a file name, we can take its default value to save the contents of the current BIOS. After saving the original BIOS, we can start the real refresh work, click "Update BIOS" in the "File" menu, the system prompts to select the new BIOS file, we choose the AX3S117.bin downloaded from the Internet, This file applies to the AOpen AX3S motherboard above. If your motherboard is not this model, you have to download the right BIOS file from the manufacturer of the motherboard, don't use the wrong BIOS data file 哟. The appropriate file is selected, the system is ready to refresh, it pops up the dialog box as shown, let you confirm. When you click the Update command, the system starts to refresh the BIOS. It first specifies the content to refresh in the BIOS to refresh, and then write new files, this process will last for dozens of seconds, more slow down than to DOS . During this time, you can't stop power or crash, otherwise the machine is likely to open. After the refresh is complete, the system will prompt the computer, then click Reboot Restart. The refresh work is successfully completed. In order to avoid refresh failure, it is unable to start the machine. We can click on the Bootblock area on the software interface before refreshing the BIOS, turn it deep green, which is not refreshing for the choice. We know, bootblock is used to ensure that the machine is fixed when the machine is failed to fix the BIOS, so it is not possible to maximize the security of our refreshing. Finally, talk about this software: My Aopen motherboard, the BIOS refresh tool under DOS is one or one, and the AWDFLASH refresh software under the general DOS does not know this motherboard. BIOS chip, when you want to create a personalized boot screen, it is impossible.
