Overview

This document describes the steps necessary to update to BIOS version 841P091E for the Intel G33 Motherboard.


Identification

This BIOS can be installed on an Intel G33 Motherboard.


Installation

Update (flash) the BIOS if:

1.  You are updating to a newer BIOS revision.

2.  A technician has told you to flash or re-flash the computer.

Steps to flash or re-flash the computer using Winflash:

Note: This BIOS update runs in Windows using the WinFlash utility.  Before starting this procedure, close or disable ALL programs.  This includes active anti-virus scans and programs in the systray.  Close programs in the systray by right-clicking, or alternate-clicking, each icon, and then if available, clicking Disable, Exit, or Close.

Because many programs can affect the way this flash is completed, it is critical that all programs are closed.

1.  If you have not already done so, locate and double-click the 841P091E.exe file that you originally downloaded from the Internet and execute the file.  Files extract to the C:\Cabs\841P091E folder.

2.  In the C:\Cabs\841P091E\WinFlash folder, double-click Winplash.exe.

Note: If you already are running Windows Vista, you must right-click WinFlash.exe and then choose Run as administrator.

3.  In the Phoenix WinFlash dialog box, verify that Backup BIOS and Flash BIOS with new setting are selected.

Note: If the location is already listed as C:\Cabs\841P091E\841P091E.BIN, click Flash BIOS.  Otherwise, skip to step 4.

4.  In the Specify new BIOS file window, click Browse.  Browse to C:\Cabs\841P091E\841P091E.BIN, and then click Flash BIOS.

OR

5.  Manually type in the location C:\Cabs\841P091E\841P091E.BIN in the Specify new BIOS file field, and then click Flash BIOS.

6.  In the Phoenix WinFlash dialog box, click OK.

7.  The BIOS is flashed.

8.  After the BIOS has completed, click Restart.


Removal

Because a computer must have a BIOS to operate, there is no removal process.  The BIOS cannot be removed after it has been upgraded.


Troubleshooting

If you have trouble flashing the BIOS, try the process again following the steps listed in the Installation section of this document.  If you are still unable to flash the BIOS, verify that you are actually attempting to flash the BIOS on an Intel G33 motherboard.  If this process still fails, contact technical support.

There may be an error indicating a CMOS Checksum error.  At the Gateway Splash screen, press the F2 key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.  Press the ENTER key to select Load Optimized Defaults and Save and Exit Setup.  The computer restarts.
