Jaida,

Ok to answer your first question. If you turned off your L1 and L2 cache (why you would want to do that I don't know), you have to turn it back on. That is unless you flash your BIOS as you mentioned you are trying to do. The BIOS will default to L1 and L2 cache enabled. ALWAYS FLASH YOUR BIOS USING A FLOPPY DISK!!!! Yes you can try to do it by preempting the Windows load, but it is a bad idea. Just make a bootable floppy disk, load the BIOS file and the flash program onto the disk and then follow ABIT's intructions. Hope that helps.

FYI- insert a floppy type"format A:\s" that should get you a boot disk. Next you need AWDFLASH & ABITFAE and finally your bios file make sure to unzip any files on thhe disk. check your bios and disable cache (until your flash is done)- make sure that system is set to boot from"A". Insert your floppy shut system down,restart type
"abitfae",this with tell you if your bios file is correct(you can also type a command line after the abitfae-like the one you posted)the abit web site has good diractions as how to flash
