Hi all,

My friend has 9800XT he wants to upgrade the bios on.

I have 2 specific questions.

1. What is the utility needed to do it, and is the utility specific to his card's manufacturer or is there a general bios upgrade util that flashes all the 9800XT's ?

2. What bios file do I need, and is the bios file manufacturer specific as well, or do the bios files work on any 9800XT ?

Mainboard: Asus P5K-Premium, CPU=Intel E6850 @ x8x450fsb 3.6ghz, RAM: 4gb PC8500 Team Dark, Video: NV8800GT, HDD: 2x1Tb Samsung F3 RAID-0 + 1Tb F3, PSU: Antec 550 Basiq, OS: Win7x64, Display: 24" WS LCD

To a later BIOS, he thinks there might be a BIOS update that will help some crashing issues.

We just looked at the manufacturers website and didnt find a bios update for it............ so we are looking at other hardware in the system as a possible cause.

Thanks

The graphics card chipset BIOS is less than likely a cause of system instability. I too suggest to look for other causes.

BIOS's would not be the source of the problems. Maybe its a driver conflict.
