I bought a Spider Chip for x-mas and got it from a 3rd party dealer (huge mistake) I have installed it and it works except for it does not have cromwell on it. As long as I have the chip off it will run the origonal bios but when turned on it frags (I know it is working now because when i didn't have it in all the way it would frag wether on or off). Can someone possibly tell me how to flash it without a BIOS already there?

you may try a hot swap or the alladin programmer works for this chip, also spiderchip has built their own programmer, not sure when it comes out though, looked on website www.spiderchip.com I think the 30th, good luck try divineo next time

X2 programmer works with these also.

If its Flashing orange make sure you have the video cable pushed in correctly.

AliceFromm It is very unlikely you were supplied a chip without a bios. The fact that it only Frags with the chip on  now does not indicate that you have installed this correctly. I assume you did it solderless so you need to go over your placement of everything make sure all the connections are tight. AFAIK these chips come with the Cromwell Flashbios.
If you wish to flash it you will have to use a programmer, (hotswap if you did it soldereless without using a pinheader install is not easy)
