You will need the bios flash utility.  You will have to download the files, burn them onto a cd-r or  floppy disk, if they fit and reboot the system from the cd-rom or floppy drive.  Here are the utilities you will need.\n\nThis is no doubt where you found the .bin file\nhttp://global.shuttle.com/Download/Download_File.asp?Item=SK41G\n\nBut I believe you will also need the following\nhttp://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/sk41g_faq.htm\n\nGood luck\n\nAlso, some mainboards DO require you to reset jumpers to flash the BIOS.  Yours isn't one of them.

No BIOS post codes almost always points to a bad seat of the CPU. Reseat it. Drop the ram back to a single chip and remove any extra cards, KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) and then build from there.

Its got a bios setup....you need to watch the screen when it boots....at some point it will tell you what key to press....it may be quick so keep your eyes peeled! Usually its the delete key

BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System.\n\nWhen you boot up, your PC will show some data on a black screen and go through a memory test (amongst other things).  As it is doing this, hit the Delete button and you will enter the BIOS and be able to change a whole range of settings there.\n\nHowever, I seriously advise you to exercise caution.  Anyone asking what the BIOS is shouldn't really tinker with it until they get a bit more knowledge.  Tinkering with things you're not 100% sure of can really mess up your system.\n\nDo a bit of research.\n\nSecondly, the system administrator could be anyone.  Is it your PC?  Is it a company's PC? Are you on XP?  If you are, you need to log in as Administrator in order to get the right permissions to the change system. Tech support group is your IT dept (if it's a company's PC), but it looks like you're quoting from a warning message or something.

It looks to me like it wants the disk with the new bios on it. The cd you're talking about is the utility used to flash the bios, corrrect? You actually need to download a new bios for it to use, in order to flash it.

You mean, you want to upgrade your BIOS.  Changing it to something else is out of the question, one motherboard uses one and another uses another, similar they may be, compatible with each other they are not.  You will need to get the latest version of the BIOS from whoever manufactured your motherboard (one would be Asus) then you have to flash the new version of the BIOS to the motherboard, again, they will have instructions on how to do this.

You mean everything? BIOS just woldn't come up? There is no way to fix that unless you send it in to the maker of the BIOS or where you bought your ocmptuer so they can fiz it.

in ur BIOS settings (hope u kno that), choose first boot drive as ATAPI CD ROM DRIVE.\n\nIt will work, provided the o/s installation cd a bootable one ; )

Yes, just go to your computer manufacturer's website and they'll have the latest bios for you to download for free.

You need to check with ASUS and see if they have a BIOS recovery utility. It should include instructions on how to use it also.

If the bios and every part is in Japan, you could check the manufacturers web site to see if their is a bios update in english available for that system.  If its just windows...reinstall an english version of windows.  If not patch is available you can always reinstall an english windows, and at least your os will be in english...only the Bios and System startup will be in Japanese.

Anything in the bios could really mess it up.  Adding a security password and then forgetting it would be a serious problem.  Your best bet is to not mess with your bios or even update it until your computer's warranty expires.

You can not access the bios from windows. You need to reboot then as it is posting press either f1,f2 or del and that will get you into the cmos setup.

try this but don't mess around in the bios.\nturn off the pc.\nturn it on again, as it is setting up, press the DEL key several times, the pc should go into the bios, usually a blue screen with settings for lots of the pc's setup items.\ngo to the drives, use the arrow keys to navigate.\ncheck to see if it shows a rom drive. if not click on my pc there and if should locate it and show it, if it doesn't then reset the pc.\nonly way I'm afraid.

Can you post the BIOS string that appears on the lower left side of the screen during bootup? Please the PAUSE key to stop the boot sequence.\n\nFrom this BIOS #, if you go to this site:\nhttp://www.wimsbios.com/numbers.shtml\n\nYou can find out octek's  web site.\n\nThis site has older BIOS updates if they are not available at Octek's site:\n\nhttp://wims.rainbow-software.org/index.php\n\nThe limitation could be 40 gig, 80 gig or 120 gig but not sure without having checked out the exact motherboard model.\n\nGeorge
