I need to update the bios for my PCCHIPS P21G V1.0a motherboard... But my area of expertise lies with hardware, not software... so I'm at a loss on how to go about doing this. The reason I wish to flash my bios and update it, is because periodically my game crashes after an hour or so of full screen 3D Gaming, it is a VPU error, but it is not the GFX card's fault... I have gotten the same error with 2 different cards, proper drivers for both of them.

Specs;
3.2ghz P4 HT
2gb RAM (1 Mushkin 233mhz DDR and the other I can't remember 1gb 400mhz) running 233mhz
200gb Seagate HDD
ATI Radeon 9600pro atlantis 256meg AGP

If there is any more info I can give to help you help me... let me know!

And thanks NightJ1986 for referring me to these guys, from what I read they are very knowledgeable.

Thanks,
Spoon.

PS. It drives me nuts when I start having fun in CS:S and all of a sudden lockup, then "NO SIGNAL INPUT" ... Argh!!!

Mod Edit: Thread in wrong forum deleted.

Forgot this on first post ----

The motherboard processor are from a different computer... my old one fried so I just plugged my HDD, RAM, and GFX card into it... my old motherboar was a ECS P4M800, thought that it could help to tell you guys...

When you swapped boards-- you did not reinstall Windows ?

No, I'm afraid I didn't... to tell the truth I did not expect it to work at all... lol

Well, this is the link where you would download the BIos update and flash utility. Let us know how it goes.

Ah, I have those files, I was just wondering if I could get a step-by-step on how to do it... A 1-2-3 guide. If I do this mono-y-mobo I will fail utterly and miserably lol
