    Unhappy help in obtaining a bios upgrade

    Even when I keep uninstalling and reinstalling later versions of the video card driver. I follow a few steps provided by ati.com and one of them is checkin the bios.

    I have updated my video card to lastest version just 4 weeks ago but
    when it was time to restart and the computer boot up instead of getting a windows screen I got a black screen with 2 white dashes. Even when I keep uninstalling and reinstalling later versions of the video card driver. I follow a few steps provided by ati.com and one of them is checkin the bios.

    System Manufacturer: VIA694
    System Model: AWRDACPI
    BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PGN
    BIOS Type: Award
    BIOS Date: 08/17/00
    BIOS ID String: 08/17/2000-8363-686A-6A6LML19C
    OEM Signon: K7VAT(S)-05
    Chipset: VIA 82C305 REV 3
    Super I/O: VIA 686 REV 34 FOUND AT PORT 7H

    Video card
    Card name: ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON

    Welcome to Windrivers NarrowPath123....

    Yes, we need a bit more information.... like what windows, have you loaded the via 4 in 1 drivers? How are you installing and uninstalling the drivers if there is nothing on the screen but the dashes?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    I get an entry for Lucky Star Technologies.

    Link to their site is gone, I assume out of business if not brought out by someone else.

    Only place I found BIOS updates for their products is

    http://www.bios-drivers.com/

    Their bios section for Lucky Star is here.

    Hope it helps.
