“Unknow Flash Type” message comes up… Help~

by juinnari . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

the message comes up whenever I attempt to flash the BIOS.

Before this happens, I failed to flash the BIOS… the process halted and nothing happened, so I had to force it to stop.

after then the system restarted, a message said that main bios was failed and the backup bios was on.

so I looked up the Internet to find out the solution to it; however, nothing worked.

some said that flash memory protection might be a cause. as soon as I saw the thread on the Internet, I tried but didn’t work out.

I tried to find any utility that can reset flash memory but only end up getting cmos clear utilities…

I don’t know what else I can do about this.

If anyone out there have any clue to spare… help me please…

P.S. I have unknown manufacturer’s RS690/SB600 motherboard with Award flash(Winbond)rom on it. Award flash utility version 8.66 was used. flash update files are all clean.
