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.

Thank you for information.
One more question.
I have industrial PC, manufacturer didn't  provide any BIOS tool.
When i run flashrom i get the warning about problems with unsupported
laptops BIOSes and the following message:
"Aborting.
Error: Programmer initialization failed"
I use command "flashrom -p internal"
How could i fix it?
