Maybe it would've been easier to just tear down that PC and directly connect to a BIOS chip (In-System Programming, using some test clip to avoid the soldering, or maybe your chip is socketed so you could remove it and insert to your hardware programmer). Although this way requires you to have the external programmer, there are some models like CH341A which could be got for really cheap ($2-$3 from China in this case). And there is 100% confidence that this way will work, regardless of your chipset and other factors

Hello. Please could you help me? I have chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R". It is marked as fully supported. I did the following steps 1) made backup 2) changed some setting(disable internal audio) 3) made backup again. I made hexdump comparision of files from steps 1), 3) and there are no changes at all. What did i wrong?
Hi,
there is nothing wrong. On old boards such settings are often saved in the CMOS NVRAM, which is not part of the flash memory.
