Inspiron 1564 and Bios Update Failing Error 4099

I have upgraded windows to Ultimate x64. I am trying to update my Bios from A01 and I have tried 1564_A04 and 1564_A05 updates. When Winphlash runs I get an error 4099 and the fan runs full speed and the computer locks up. I have to pull the battery to restart it. Anyone else have this problem or have an idea. Thanks

    Did you make sure you have the 64 bit versions of the BIOS flash software?  Is there a certain functionality flashing the BIOS is going to give you, because usually it is not worth the hassle of flashing.

    It is the one listed for windows 7 x64. Also flashing BIOS never used to be a pain. Just since they switched to Pheonix's WinPhlash :emotion-6:

     

    They need to use Phash16 so I can flash from DOS or just give us the wph file
