#Foxconn 2ab1 american megatrends bios update how to#
Try as I might I couldn't find or figure out how to downgrade the BIOS.
#Foxconn 2ab1 american megatrends bios update install#
Even tried fresh install of 8.1 & 10, no luck on downgrading, then I found this forum. Tried restoring backups - no go then fresh install of windows 7 and couldn't downgrade the BIOS - 233 error. Big mistake, windows 10 wouldn't boot, tried everything that I could think of in the BIOS to get things working and it seems that the update broke the UFEI / RAID setup. I decided to see if there were updates for the BIOS and found that there were two:Īs Windows 10 seems more like 8.1 than 7 I decided to flash the 65cn99ww.exe BIOS. My upgraded my Windows 7 U410 to Windows 10 and it was running sluggish. Hi, new to the forum (though not new to computers) and I've searched around for 2 days for a potential answer to this, if answer already posted please send me a link.

I would prefer to mod the bios since the board is £15 and the rams are a fair bit more, so I don't want to practice on them and ruin perfectly good ram. The original Samsung modules are ddr3 1333 speed that get clocked down to 1066 (max board supports) and according to cpu-z with them fitted in another board have the same jedec profiles as the Kingston ram but inspecting the epp/spd eprom with spdtool.exe I see a fair few different values. There are other posts online about this board and it' very limited ram support, I would like if I can to alter the default timings in the bios so that I can use more generic ram instead of hp's "approved" ram. If I use an 800fsb cpu my Kingston hyperx rams work fine (2x4gb genesis 1600 2x2gb hyperx 1333) but as soon as I install a 1333 fsb cpu the pc wont even post unless I fit the original Samsung 1gb modules in.
I have an hp ipiel-la3 revision 1.02 motherboard (aka eureka3) that is very fussy about what ram it accept it will do 16gb according to hp. I am researching how to use the spdtool to modify the ram eprom incase I can't modify the bios, but given that the motherboard is £15 used and the rams are £20-30 each I would rather mod the board,Ĭould anyone tell which module in the bios controls memory timing for the ram? My question is where in an ami bios is the memory timing data stored? and can I replace it with a more generic friendly version?
The thing is the modules that came with the pc are pc3-10600 1333fsb dimms downclocked by the g43 chipset to 1066fsb work perfectly well wit a 1333fsb cpu, the jedec profiles according to cpu-z are the same on the Kingston rams as the original Samsung ones but they just don't want to work. I have discovered that the ram timing is responsible for the post issues in that only a few rams with the correct timings will work (hp approved modules ) generic rams wont even get past post the fans spin up and nothing else happens. Hello I recently picked up an hp pro 3010 microtower with an ipiel-la3 (aka eureka3) pegatron motherboard, I should have known that it would be fussy about ram the last pegatron board I had was too.Īnyway my ram works with an 800fsb cpu installed but not with a 1333fsb cpu installed the ram is at the moment 2x4gb and 2x2gb of kingston hyperX the 4gb ones have an xmp profile too.
