The commands /p /b /n /r are as follows according to AFUWIN.exe:Īnd could I substitute a USB stick instead of a CD? Is there a guide maybe that has instructions for that procedure? Would I just have to make the USB stick bootable, place the rom file and dos folder files on the usb stick then boot it from startup and run the command you said? Upon running it I get a DOS box that supposedly updates the BIOS from Windows, it first says: reading file - done then it says ffs checksums - ok then it flashes another line that I believe says Given ROM file does not match existing BIOS size before closing. The BIOS_WIN.bat is supposed to be run according to the readme. But pressing anything brings up more commands, and then it will close upon pressing anything else. When trying to run either one of those I get a command prompt with different options. Thanks for reading, and here are my specs as of now:

So is there a way I can manually do it with a USB stick from bootup? If there is what file(s) should I copy to it and what procedure should I try? Inside the download Gateway offers for the P03-A3 version are these 3 folders:Īccording to the readme that's provided I am supposed to be able to simply run BIOS_WIN.bat and it will do everything from within Windows. I am not familiar with flashing the BIOS, I do know that it can brick the Motherboard if done incorrectly. The latest version (as can be found on the Gateway link above under 'BIOS') is: P03-A3. The Motherboard came out of a Gateway DX4860 Desktop: My current BIOS version is: P01-A2.

I'm currently using an i3-2100 and my new i5-3570K is not being recognized by the BIOS. I recently posted a topic here to figure out if I had a bad CPU or an outdated BIOS: Assuming it's an outdated BIOS which seems likely, I now need help in flashing it.
