The Mother Board

tried flashing my BIOS with 020626, the one recomended by ECS
and one recomended on this forum 011016

MoBo is an Elite K7S5A

both gave the same error message
Running W2K

Dos/16m error:[29] memory error out of range
Dos/4g error(2001):exception 0Dh (General protection fault) at 18:000012B0
TSI 32: Prev_tsf32 81D0

then a load of numbers

can anyone tell me whats wrong ?

know BIOS now is with rogram: Unicore BIOS Wizard Version 1.5


BIOS Date: 09/13/01
BIOS Type: American Megatrends
BIOS ID: 62-0913-001437-00101111-040201-SiS735
Chipset: SiS 735 rev 1
Superio: ITE 8705/SiS 950 rev 1 found at port 2Eh

TIA

Did you start with a clean bootdisk with only systemfiles and flashprog and biosfile without drivers or memory managers ?

used a win98se boot disk

start dos- command line only? You do want to load anything at startup when flashing your bios...

Tried DrDos 7.* but on every floppy i try to run this on i get error on track * head * Floppys do not match when i run it, any where i can get a zip of the
files rather than this installer exe ?

ok managed to make a floppy with DrDos BIOS boot, enabled FDD for W2K in BIOS and it worked

Disabled System BIOS cache , re booted with DrDos, ran AMINF333.exe and got this error message

General protection fault in AMINF333.EXE at 0070:2831 code=480C ss=3DA0 ds=0020 es=0060 ax=051a bx=0000 cx=0317 dx=0002 sp=4F2E bp=4F50 si=0005 di=50AE

Trying to get the best BIOS to run a Athlon 1.4 T-Bird on my system.

Any Ideas please

try other floppy drive

run this:

sounds like either a flakey floppy drive or memory trouble...
