Please help us to help you. Read the posting rules. Post the information about your BIOS ID. Until then we will have no idea.

...so go to [url]http:/go.to/ajz[/url] or
http://www.pcchips.com.tw/BIOS.html for the latest BIOS. You need to know whether your chip is 1 Mbit (128Kbyte) or 2 Mbit (256Kbyte) befoire you download and flash, but saving your current BIOS should tell you that.

Check for write protect jumper and/or option in BIOS SETUP. If nothing, try another flash utility.

No...Uniflash is used to write the new BIOS over the old one or to save the old one. Please read the instructions.

The you're into "My Motherboard is Dead" and you need to hot-swap flash or get someone else to program your BIOS ROM.
