I'm trying to flash the BIOS on the MA-770t-UD3P to the F2c version. I found and downloaded the file but whenever I try to run it I get an error about the file not being compatible with the version of Windows that I'm running. I'm running Vista 64-bit. What do I do to get it to work? Thanks.

I would just ignore it, every bios is the same for any OS.

Asus does the same thing, before you download anything, it asks for your OS, but its the same file regardless of what OS you use.

I can't ignore it. It doesn't let the file run.

I recomend making a bootab le USB, downloading the DOS based flashing tool and the latest bios. Here are the directions to make a bootable USB for bios flashing:


1. Make a USB bootable drive using this creator:
USB Boot drive (HPUSBFW)

2. Then download the boot files and extract them to a folder of your choice

3. Run the HPUSBFW program.



Select the correct USB device from the drop-down menu, set file system to FAT32 and check Create a DOS startup disk.

4. Then browse for the extracted boot files (now in the folder of your choice) and press start to begin formating it.

5. Copy the AMD DOS flashing tool and the actual bios to the USB drive.

6. Reboot, load bios defaults (always flash with default bios settings), set the ram voltage if required, and select the USB as the first boot device. Reboot, boot off the drive and flash the bios.

I'm gonna try the Q-Flash thing on my mobo. Basically sounds like doing what you said to do.

seems to have worked. Thanks. Darn, doesn't seem like I can unlock my 550
