you did not mention which board that is. google suggests
foxconn 945P(L)7AE is that correct?

this means that there is probably a mainboard-specific write protection
enabled, which is not uncommon. we need to reverse engineer how it is
disabled. for this we need to know which board model it is exactly and
please sense us also the output of
flashrom -p internal -V
and
lspci -vvnnxxx
and
superiotool -deV
