About a month ago, after installing a modded bios, i wanted to go back and forth between my original and the modded one made here (Which worked perfectly BTW). Though upon reverting i always encountered 'Can't Analyze the IIM Information' , the internet provides no fixes for this, and acer wanted to replace my mobo, which was too much of a hassle for me even though it was free. Today i present a way in which you can all flash your bios which gets this error, and many other errors. There is 1 warning though, this will flash all bios files, regardless of mismatches and such, so you must be 100% sure you are flashing a compatible bios because you will not be told if it isnt, it will just flash.
This is what you do. Download the Engineers version of AFUDOS attached here. Format a DOS-USB. Then place the AFUDOS.EXE file into your formated USB along with your ROM file.
Restart and enter the DOS environment then enter these commands.
AFUDOS /iXXXX.ROM /pbnc /n
where xxxx= Rom Name, remember must include the 'i'
You have now successfully flashed a bios, that either has issues matching information, issues analyzing current versions, you want to downgrade and many other issues.
Cheers

I recently posted a topic here to figure out if I had a bad CPU or an outdated BIOS: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/360283-28-outdated-bios Assuming it's an outdated BIOS which seems likely, I now need help in flashing it.
I'm currently using an i3-2100 and my new i5-3570K is not being recognized by the BIOS. The Motherboard came out of a Gateway DX4860 Desktop: http://support.gateway.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=3696 My current BIOS version is: P01-A2. The latest version (as can be found on the Gateway link above under 'BIOS') is: P03-A3.
I am not familiar with flashing the BIOS, I do know that it can brick the Motherboard if done incorrectly. Which is why I posted for help. Inside the download Gateway offers for the P03-A3 version are these 3 folders:
DOS/
-AFUDOS.exe
-BIOS_DOS.bat
ROM/
P03-A3.rom
WIN/
AFUWIN.exe
AFUWINx64.exe
amifldrv32.sys
amifldrv64.sys
BIOS_WIN.bat
According to the readme that's provided I am supposed to be able to simply run BIOS_WIN.bat and it will do everything from within Windows. This however has not worked. So is there a way I can manually do it with a USB stick from bootup? If there is what file(s) should I copy to it and what procedure should I try?
Thanks for reading, and here are my specs as of now:
Thermaltake 600watt ps
Nvidia GTX 660
12 GB DDR3 RAM
i3-2100 CPU
Windows 7 64-bit
