Hello community,
I also have a problem with a P8Z77-v LX motherboard
I have tried to flash the latest bios which is a .cap file using my external SPI programmer without removing the 2KB header that CodeRush mentioned in post #34 of this thread. I have downloaded a freeware hex editor and tried to read the file but I find the numbers/letters a bit confusing.
CodeRush says that the lines 0x000 to 0x7FF (2KB header) have to be deleted. By 0x000 do you mean the very first line? In the very first line I can only see '0'. If I scroll down the lines I find numbers of up to 6 digits. The last line with a 3-digit number that starts with '7' is '7F8'. So, by 0x7FF do you mean the 3-digit number that starts with '7', in my case '7F8'? I noticed that if I go ahead and delete these lines (in my case 0 to 7F8) and save the file as bin, the file becomes 8,192KB instead of 8,194KB that the original .CAP file was. I compared the saved bin with a previous generation motherboard bios (Z68 motherboard) which has .ROM bios file and found that both have exactly the same bytes. i.e. 8,388,608.
I would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance!
