Updateing bios

Hi Guys
My soninlaw has a ECS NF650iSLIT motherboard. He want me to help him update
the bios, he keeps getting a message on windows 7 that he should update it .
He does have a couple problems there . Blue screen every so often.
But does any one out there know if that board has a jumper that we would
have to change to flash the bios ?
In reading about this in the manual it says IF the board has one but don't
spicificaly say it does
Anyone help me out here ?
Thanks

Carl, you need to be very familiar with computers to attempt this. Check
online for the mobo manual and read it to see if there is such a jumper.
You can download the manual here:
[url]http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=733&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Manual&MenuID=44&LanID=9[/url]
Just copy the link to your browser address bar and make sure there are no
breaks in the string.

You can also navigate to the ECS hompage at
[url]http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Index.aspx?MenuID=0&LanID=9[/url] and enter the
mobo model number
or Google on "ecs.com.tw" to get there.

Flashing the BIOS can render a computer inoperable if not done correctly so
consider having a shop do it for you if you have any doubts about doing it
yourself.

Carl

You are not familiar with doing this(just by reading your post) Bring it to a
reputable shop and not a big store one like Office Depot or Wallmart but to a
computer shop that only specializes with computers and let them do it for you.
One mistake here and you are up the proverbial creek as they say

Re: Updateing bios

Get and read the manual from
[url]http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=733&DetailName=Manual&DetailDesc=NF650iSLIT-A%28V1.0%29&CategoryID=1&MenuID=73&LanID=0[/url]

Thw jumper is clearly shown and explained on pages 4, 5 and 9. The
procedure explained on page 50 is a general one for all motherboards.

I answered your question exactly, Carl. Download the manual and read it to
see if there is such a jumper. That's the only way any of us could know.
