cant flash my asus a8v deluxe

title basicly says it all.

ive tried EZ flash and Afudos. both times it says Floppy/CD Not Found.

my motherboard has bios version 1008 right now, and i need to update it to 1013 or higher (trying for 1017). i have an X2 4800+ in it, and the current bios does not support the X2 lineup.


during POST the system halts and gives a checksum error, Processor Unknown, System Halted.


im out of ideas here.

i cant acess the bios at all. when i try and acess it, it says Starting Setup, but then continues to load as normal.

the only thing that i can think of here is that i cant load or acess the bios at all with a cpu that the mobo doesnt recognise.

ya sound about right, prolly need to putthe recognizable CPU in to do the flashing, also are supposed to flash in single channel (RAM) only or no?
