    I just got off the phone with Award they have built a new BIOS package and they do want to charge for it. My old BIOS Award v1.5 worked great and was a lot faster than this one. You might say minor problems every time I go on line my internet setting change it can get aggravating sometimes. So if you have a link for the old Award v1.5 please post it.

    is the CMOS battery dead?

    is the clock keeping good time, have you tried resetting the BIOS by clearing jumpers?

    flashing the BIOS is a very risky thing to do, if there's any interuption halfway through you motherboard will be scrap

    Brain damage thank you for your comments but my clock is fine My cmos battery has been removed and replaced. I know at this point the problem is the new BIOS and Award wants to sell me a new BIOS when my old one worked ten times as good as their new one. I do not think so.

    Your motherboard manufacturer will have your latest BIOS.

    There would be no charge.

    You can try CPU_Z for the details on your motherboard.

    If there are no newer BIOS upgrades then that is the end of the BIOS line.

    If you are saying you upgraded your BIOS then now want to downgrade it this is another question.

    If you upgraded already why did you? So you are asking how to downgrade?

    Again your motherboard manufacturer will have the BIOS downloads for you motherboard free of charge.

    Brain damage I had Win 98 then upgraded to winxp then my computer was wiped out by a hacker even though I had CA security and windows firewall. My original recovery disk was damaged so I had to get a loan of one. Now I run a dual boot system with win98 as back up so if winxp is damagec I can rebuild it from win98. The original version of the BiOS was Award v1.5 they no longer offer a download that I can find.
