Updating BIOS

[macdoc5]

Hi,
I am using a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3(rev. 1.0) with BIOS version F3. Although this hack works pretty well, I am still getting a few gremlins that pop up intermittently
(i.e. CMOS Post errors every few boot ups, loosing Ethernet unless the power supply is turned off). I want to update the BIOS to the latest in the DSDT database (F8) to see if that helps.

I understand how to flash the BIOS. I am a bit confused about how to run Multibeast after the flash. Do i simply put the new DSDT .aml on my desktop and run Multibeast with the UserDSDT option? Will this create duplicate kexts elsewhere that will cause problems?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I would copy the new DSDT file in the /Extra folder to replace the old one and reboot.

Make sure you backed up your stable install so you can clone back over if anything goes bananas.

Thanks, I was hoping it would be that simple.

I renamed the new one DSDT.aml (removing the extra characters) and placed it in the /Extras. Worked like a charm. Now I want to see if my gremlins go away.
