Hi,
        I have developed a problem which requires the BIOS to be flashed.
  Every time I boot Win98se it loads drivers for direct access memory controller, keyboard, pci bus and unknown communications device even though these are already in the system. I haven't been able to locate the source of this in the registry, ini files, config or auto exec.
 These devices show as problems in control panel. Windows says it can't load the drivers for the PCI bus
because the system is reporting two PCI.VXD bus types and to upgrade the BIOS.
  I have been unable to find out which flash I should use. I've searched Award, Mrbios, Wimsbios and a dozen other sites and QDI has not responded to my query.
  I read that I should use the most recent, but with so much at stake I want to be sure.
  I have downloaded 3 flash programs for the Award V4.51pg  -AWD798,  AWD802, + flash 50 .
      The BIOS I.D. string is    3/17/98-i430TX-NS309-2A59IQ1GC-00
      The chipset I.D. is Award PCI PNP 586 127333480.

                    Thanks,
                    Rick Allen
