Hello! I'm new here at Tom's Hardware. This is a great website. :D

Where can I get a copy of the newest BIOS update for my motherboard?

Model: Asus P5GD1-VM Motherboard
Version: 0602
Chipset: I915
Date: 09/06/2005-16:48:11
Onboard Sound: Azalia (swa)
Onboard LAN: Exist (wl)
BIOS Size: 512 K
BIOS Type: AMI

I've downloaded all BIOS .ROM files in the official website of Asus. But it weren't compatible with the BIOS.

Please help me! Thank you very much in advanced!

As a separate component. I'm updating/flashing my BIOS because it says, "Intel CPU uCode Loading Error."

I can access the BIOS. It doesn't have an update or flashing utility. But as an alternative, I'm capable of using MS-DOS.

Unfortunately, I don't have an older CPU.

Where can I find a .ROM file to update my BIOS? I tried all .ROM files in the official website of ASUS but it didn't work.

Can you help me find a new .ROM file for my BIOS? How?

Thank you very much! :)

Unfortunately, it says "ERROR: ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID." :(

Here's the complete image of the flashing process:

Okay, does this BIOS Chip replacement is related to the "Intel CPU uCode Loading Error?"
