Ok I installed an x3 in my 1.0. Then i set the switches to on on off off. I then turned it on and flash bios 3.0.1 loaded. I flashed via dvd with X3 3108. It seemed to flash fine but then when i turned it on with the chip enabled, it just shut off on me. When i boot with switches set to off on off off, flash bios loads. what is wrong???


please help

What files from the bios did you include in the disc you made. You should only have the 1024 kb Bin file and a 100 mb dummy file. If you include the other files, it will not work. Off, on, off,off is your second 1mb bios bank.
