Having trouble flashing the BIOS.

I am running the MS-6712 (KT4V-L) with the VT8377 (KT400) Chipset Revision 00, Southbridge VIA Model VT8235 Revision OO.
BIOS American Megatrends Version 07.00T 04/02/01.
I have downloaded what I think to be the current BIOS update for my PC but when I try to perform the flash it tells me that the chipset is not correct..etc.
I was running Windows XP and having trouble so I reinstalled the OS. Then the video drivers weren't working properly and I started getting the BSOD, it said invalid driver. I reloaded the OS again and figured I should do all of the MB updates before anything else. I ran the USB 2.0 patch and the computer keep rebooting now and seems to have trashed the USB onboard. I had to plug a PS/2 keyboard in to even get into the BIOS or anything. I then tried running the chipset update and it appeared to run but the version didn't change. I tried to run the rest of the drivers and they all failed except for the sound drivers? I am also getting sporadic reboots when I am trying to download my Windows updates. I keep having driver conflicts but not sure why since it is a fresh install? Things just aren't adding up?
I know that all sounds pretty vague but the MB was working fine before doing any of the updates. How can I flash the BIOS and chipset on this and can you tell me where the current versions are?
Thanks in advance and please feel free to ask for the information that I am sure I have forgotten to post.

It will not install your machine is close to 7 years old and the newest Flash Player will not install on that old of an Operating System.
If you have flash on there already then thats probably the best your going to get.
You can Google and see what is the latest version for your Operating System.

How to flash the bios? (VGA)

I have a ti4800se v1.00 card.I want to flash its bios. Is it possible???
And maybe later i will do vmod... How to vmod on MSI ti4800SE??

If you are NOT having problems then don't flash the BIOS on your video card. If Live Update says that there is a new BIOS for your card and it supports a BIOS flash go ahead and roll the dice. IF ANY THING GO'S WRONG YOUR CARD WILL BE SCRAP

Questions about flashing the bios

Hi everyone. I have a few questions about the process involved in a bios update.
First, I should tell you I have a Lenovo G470 that sometimes has problems booting.
The problem is I turn on the laptop and after 2-3 seconds it shuts down. I see the logo, and nothing else. After that I can spend hours trying to turn it on again, and keeps failing. After some time, I turn it on and use it without problems.
Before these problems, I had experienced similar troubles, but I could fix it (in my way) and I explained it in this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-g470-shutdown-problems-in-intervals-of-...
Ok, In that post a reply says that a possible solution could be a Bios update. So, I've been thinking to flash the bios to solve my actual problem, but I would like to ask you some questions:
1. Updating the bios could be a solution for this case?
2. How long does it take to update a lenovo G470 bios? (I ask this because I read that if a problem occurs in the middle the damage can be serious, and in the past I had these random shutdowns, so I'm a bit afraid)
3. How am I sure if my bios is or not updated? (there's a way to check this from windows?)
4. Finally, if you could give me a link to download the correct bios update I'll thank you.
I think that's all. I apologize for my basic english and hope you could give me some clues on this, because, as you see, I'm a total newbie.
Thanks!

hi alemaneitor,
Regarding your questions:
1. Yes, flashing the BIOS may help solve your problem as it will re-write the configurations on the CMOS. Take note though of the changelogs or README (repair changes) as the latest BIOS updates fixes critical issues on the hardware.
I've also seen some units that act the same as yours and doing a gpu reflow most of the time fixes the issue - see this thread in reference.
2. In flashing the BIOS outside of Windows, it takes less than a minute. If you need to run the BIOS flash utility inside Windows, it may take 1-2mins.
3. If there's a new BIOS that fixes critical issues, it's most of the time uploaded on the lenovo website (in some cases, BIOS updates are not available to the public and can only be used by service technicians)
4. The latest BIOS update for the Lenovo G470 is the one below that fixes an issue on units that can not enter BIOS after restart under compatible HDD mode (see README.TXT)
BIOS Update for 32bit Windows
40cn33ww_32.exe
3.28MB
BIOS Update for 64bit Windows
40cn33ww_64.exe
3.67MB

Flashing the BIOS: What is the Correct/Safe Procedure?

Can someone who has successfully Flashed the BIOS on a Toshiba please give a Step-by-Step procedure of using the safest method via a bootable CD/Floppy? A single tread with the correct procedures and recovery methods would benefit all of us. While I have flashed the BiOS of my computers through Windows and without failure, I plan to do my next session--if absolutely necessary to fix a specific problem--via a bootable floppy using a USB Floppy Drive.
I have read through these forums--and many others from different computer brands--and noted the many problems with users incorrectly flashing their BIOS' or having a failure while flashing within Windows. The result is a required trip to a Toshiba certified computer shop for an EPROM flash ($100+) or a new motherboard ($300+).
Please provide any caveats regarding flashing and any recovery tips that might work before sending your rig to the shop for repair.
Thank you.

Go to the Product Support Link at the top of this page, enter in your model, then clik on the Download Tab to find the available bios files for that model. DO NOT update the bios from within Windows. Don't do it, don't even think about doing it if you want to use your computer again. When you double click on the download you will be presented with the choice of creating a CD to flash the bios from. USE THIS METHOD. You can use a CD-RW so you don't waste a blank, but even the cost of a regular blank CD is cheap compared to the $100 that most places will charge you to fix a botched bios flash. Be sure to burn the CD at the slowest possible speed to ensure the best possible quality. Make sure that your battery is fully charged, installed, and the AC Adapter is plugged in just in case.
And don't forget to go into the bios and hit the F9 key to load Bios/Setup Defaults then F10 to exit and save just prior to and immediately after updating the bios.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive. I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive. I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected. I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions? I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

The file sizes are identical. In the finder I did a search for all .mov files. Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find. I am a new mac user and am used to windows. I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me. I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto. Then the videos worked again. However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that. Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality. Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer.

Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer

It does sound very Watch Folders-esque, however, it seems strange that there are many folders involved. Are all the folders under a single parent folder perhaps? If so, you could try renaming or moving that folder. Additionally, to clarify, all 60 files are images, correct?
Additionally, you can try creating a new catalog, just to see if that lets you in. Hold down the Shift key while launching the Organizer. If you get the timing right, the Catalog Manager will appear.

If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

Argh - once again, I find my solution right after posting this. Left out one modification to the SWIG script, now it runs in 29 seconds vs C 16 seconds, I can live with that.

I am having trouble with the cache in bridge. When i open I get a message saying bridge has encountered a problem reading the cache try purging in the central cache to correct the situation. I did that but now when I try to get to the folders where my photos are stored bridge never gets to where I can work. The message appears "building criteria" and I get an endless loop on the lower left panel. How do I correct?

You correct it by leaving Bridge alone until it finishes rebuilding its cache, overnight if necessary.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad. I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions please.

Hi,
When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.
