I checked the package from the MSI site and it seems like "A6191kms.160" is the BIOS file to flash, based on what is said in "A691MS16.txt" and how it's a 256KB file. See if you can choose this as the file to flash from within "AMIFL826.EXE".

The .doc seems to have been distributed with different boards' BIOS updates, hence the different filenames used within.

The flash utility detects your chipset and flash chip. All you need to do is to provide the filename and hit "Go Ahead". I don't see any issue here so far.

If your flasher complains about not finding you bios file then rename A6191KMS.160 to read A6191KMS.ROM

Thanks for the help! So I would go to file, which gives me the option to specify a file to load and a file to save, on the C: drive.would I be loading or saving the new bios? It do I literally just press "go ahead" without setting anything?

choose File first in order to specify the file to program. If the flasher program does not see the bios with the .160 extention then you will need to rename the bios file with the .rom extention before flashing.

Is there a good reason to be updating the bios in the first place? what exactly is the reason for updating? Bricking the motherboard is a possibility.

Thanks, changing the .160 to .ROM was the step I was missing. Got it flashed now.

I don't have a good reason really, I will be putting a faster CPU in soon and want to be sure the BIOS will recognise it!

Thanks for your help

After my previous post I looked at CPU Upgrade and yeah a lot of faster cpus require this bios version. Hope it works good.
