Here is logo file. This is the BMP format which Gigabyte asks for.

I have to use Window 7 or 10 32-bit (preferred 7). Two motherboards were chosen: Asrock J3455-ITX and Gigabyte GA-J3455N-D3H. I manage to install Windows 7 on both. The only problem I am having is making Intel Graphics driver working on these boards. Intel driver version 32_21.20.16.4508 installed fine but does not want to boot. Sometimes it boots but run very slow, worsen than the Microsoft Standard VGA. The only way to make it boots and run is to change VGA BIOS from Legacy to UEFI. However with this setting, Windows 7 or Windows 10 does not display the animation or the blue window at the start up.......

For which system is this valid? Asrock, Gigabyte or both?
Both Asrock J3455-ITX and Gigabyte GA-J3455N-D3H motherboards.

Which video output did you use? D-Sub, HDMI or DVI?
All of the outputs

What type/ model of monitor did you use?
Not the monitor problem.

Windows 7 32-bit can be installed on MBR, not UEFI. Starting Windows 8.1, Microsoft changed this rule which allow 32-bit OS can use UEFI.
In order to install Windows 7 and 10 32-bit version on those boards, the VGA BIOS setting needs to be Legacy. After installing the Intel VGA, it needs to change to UEFI or won't boot. However when it boots, the screen is black for a long time (booting time). This is unacceptable for users because they won't know what happen to the system.

@Lost_N_BIOS
I sent you a bad logo, that is too large. Here is the correct one.

Thank you,
Peter

@ptran3014 - thanks for logo, size does not matter here, only type/format etc.

@ptran3014 - Here, please test. This keeps original logo size, but none of that matters since it's plain white text on black background anyway
Flash via Q-Flash - should be OK

@Lost_N_BIOS - Just replacing logo, correct. Is there any VBIOS modd? I need to know so that I can test it. Thank you so much.
---------------------

@Lost_N_BIOS - I used Gigabyte utility (DOS) to flash your modded BIOS. This program supports 25L and 25U chips. After updating the BIOS successfully, its beeped 4 times during rebooting and then nothing was on the screen. I had to use the CH341A programmer to update with the original BIOS.
Just to update what I programed the chip so that someone who has a problem can do.
The Gigabyte GA-J3455N-D3H motherboard has the BIOS chip MXIC 25U6435F
The Asrock J3455-ITX motherboard has the BIOS chip Winbond 25Q64FWSIG
Both chips are 1.8V
However when I used the 1.8V Adapter, the CH341A Programmer does not detect the chips. I removed the 1.8V adapter and now it saw both and programmed successfully.
I used AsProgrammer v1.4.1 software. Later I found the 1.8V Adapter was damaged, one pin was broken.

I am still looking for modded BIOSes of these boards or a modded Intel VGA driver to make them work on Windows 7. By the way, someone put a tutorial on

Best regards,

Peter

@ptran3014 - Yes, Logo edit only for now. I wanted to see what's going on there, since even the BIOS they send you bricked! Need to sort this (working edit method) out before any other mod, otherwise other mod = brick also.
Sorry that BIOS was brick too Hopefully I can sort this out!

Please flash it via Qflash as mentioned, this way we know the DOS Method is not causing the bricking issue you keep running into. You may need to rename to stock BIOS name.extension
Then wait long enough, so you can see if it boots to windows or not, in case the BIOS is OK but the logo is just breaking you know. Actually, go ahead and just do this confirmation with these next two BIOS instead.
If you do have to rename for Qflash to accept, please be sure you remember which you are testing as you test, so you can tell me which works or which fails etc.
Here is two BIOS edited again for logo only, edit was done with two different tools, maybe we'll find the way that works now!

Very funny you can't use, and have success on 1.8v chip without adapter.
The board must be draining enough power that it doesn't corrupt the write due to overvoltages. Did you test with power connected, and without power connected, while using the 1.8v adapter.
Ohh! You're 1.8v adapter is broken! Well, order a new one, and try to not flash 1.8v chips so often until you get one, it may end up damaging them.

Where is this tutorial you mentioned? I think you forgot link. What's it about?

For W25Q64FW if we get there and you have to recover, use ASProgrammer and BV ID should write OK, if it fails try 1.30 and BV ID (Confirmed working for both read/write)

I used the Gigabyte to update their current BIOS, it works fine with their utility. With your BIOS, I have to give it the option switch or it will not:
Efiflash YOURBIOS.BIN \NoOemId
----------------------

@Lost_N_BIOS - I installed Windows 7 on both motherboards but missing drivers:
Asrock J3455-ITX
PCI Simple communications Controllers: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5A9A&CC_0780
Unknown device: INT3452

Gigabyte GA-J3455N-D3H
PCI Simple communications Controllers: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5A9C&CC_0780
PCI Simple communications Controllers: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5A9E&CC_0780

I read a thread somewhere you showed someone to download the Intel dynamic platform and thermal framework driver but they don't match the IDs.
I created an INF file as null drivers for now but not a good solution if I can find the drivers for them. Please let me know where I can download.

Thank you so much for your support.

@ptran3014 - please flash BIOS as I mentioned, from within the BIOS using Qflash. Did you test the two BIOS I posted at #24 yet?

For your driver issue, that is probably you need to install Intel ME drivers still, they would be available for download on the board driver download pages, or you can grab them here in the ME section of the forum
First install the Intel INF package, then install Intel Management Engine drivers (This is Intel ME Driver)

I know nothing about >> Intel dynamic platform and thermal framework driver << So you may have been reading some other users discussions.

The Gigabyte motherboard does not have Qflash in their BIOS. I have to use the DOS utility: Efiflash.exe or Windows @BIOS. Last time @BIOS bricked the BIOS. The Efiflash.exe works fine the the switch: \NoOemId

Yes, DO NOT use @BIOS as you already found out it's not so cool usually
So, no Qflash on this model, are you sure??? That would be very odd for Gigabyte. Press F8 while in BIOS, or END key at startup instead of DEL to enter BIOS, what happens?
So, no testing results yet from 2x BIOS at post #24?

* Edit - I guess not, I looked at the manual. Probably due to mini-ITX or integrated CPU or something, they left it out of this BIOS. That's first I've seen Gigabyte BIOS without Qflash!

@Lost_N_BIOS - I was wrong, Fernando replied to ded_kiev. Please read the page:
Intel Chipset Device "Drivers" (= INF files) (34)

Install both of these for Win10 -
https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/D...ntel_apollo.zip
https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/D..._txe_apollo.zip

Hmm, no Win7 drivers there! See if you can install the above in Win7, if not, here is the Intel ME (TXE for this system)
Intel Trusted Execution Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools
You want one of the first two blue links, the third one is much older than the current Version 3.0 listed on Gigabyte's page, so 4.0 would be best

And or, you can also install that exact thing Fernando mentioned!
