Sal,
The best way is to visit the manufacturers website for your MB, Check your specific MB number and see if there is a BIOS update available for it. I don’t recognize the numbers you have for the thread name so I can’t help there.
What is the name of the MB manufacturer?

I cannot find an exact match for k7s5a+ — the closest were:

K7S5A(1.1)
K7S5A(3.1)
K7S5A(3.1B)
K7S5A Pro(5.0)
K7S5A2(1.0A)

Please check with Technical Support to see whether any of these are a match with your system.

I’m not a real geek, but I think something may be wrong with the power supply – take a look at the -12v voltage from your attachment:

-12V Voltage : 0.39V

Sal – can you answer Stuart’s question in post 539,525 above? It may be *very* relevant.

Well spotted, although this could also be caused by a failed component or other fault on the motherboard shorting out the 12V rail.

His battery voltage is a bit low, also.

You can go to the Elite Group site archives for the board. You didn’t specify which K7S5A you have, so this link will bring you to a page where you can choose the one you own. From there, you can get new drivers, a manual, bios updates, etc.

Sal,

Is there a reason you want to upgrade the firmware on your motherboard? For example to fix a problem or support some new hardware.

This is often a risky thing to do, and I would strongly advise that you don’t start unless there is some very important reason for the upgrade.
