Bios POST screen
When you buy a brand name pc and switch on it displays a screen with eg HP as it runs through POST prior to reaching the starting windows screen. Having just recently built a pc (first go) for home use, I get Bios/mobo details before it goes to starting windows screen. Is it possible to change this for an image of my own choice or am I better off leaving it as it is?

Re: Bios POST screen
Hmm, that's a good question. As far as I know it's not possible to do that, and even if it is, it's not going to be a "walk in the park" doing it, since you will have to modify your BIOS most likely and that can cause huge problems if you make a mistake whilst doing that.

Re: Bios POST screen
Yeah I think you would have to be a very advanced user to even attempt flashing the bios to add a custom image in there, I think it would be best to forget about that idea

Re: Bios POST screen
There is a utility on the support disc called face wizard (gigabyte mobo) which apparently can change the POST screen, except I have 2 probs with this. The image needs to be in BMP format and 16/256 colour, 640 x480. Size and format I can do but not sure how to change it down fron 24 bit. Also waiting for an answer from the gigabyte support website as surely they must know how to do it, failing that I'll just contact other makers and maybe they shed some light. Thanks for your help and if I get an answer will let you know the outcome.

Re: Bios POST screen
Face wizard works great if you have a gigabyte mobo and very simple to use. Just load the image then restart your done.I don't recommend doing this on a everyday basis since you are messing with the bios and if you have a conflict you run the risk of bricking your system Just make sure it right size and format or you will have problems. The Version i have will do PCX or BMP format images smaller than 640x480
