Hi, i have an Acer and i got that ugly blue screen(phisycal memory thingy)A friend told me about flashing my bios, i went to Acer updated but there was two update file Flash BIOS v3A10 - ATI Chipsets
Windows XP And Flash BIOS v3A10 - For Intel Video
Windows XP, i really dont know which one to download knowing that both files have the extension .WPH i dont know which program can open that either...thank you so much

I have a problem with my Dell. I know what you're thinking, being a Dell IS the problem in the first place. I agree. However, on a more serious note...

I tried updating the BIOS off their website. I seems to work with no problem....until I got to the desktop. My peripherals are absolutely non-responsive. I have read some responses on how to hook up a ps2 keyboard and mouse might help. Here's a curve ball, my desktop only has usb ports front and back. No ps2 connections whatsoever. I have tried resetting the cmos, but no luck either. I AM able to use my keyboard when I enter the Set Up mode (F2) I am hoping there is a way I can rever the bios to its original state without having to reinstall the OS entirely. This is really frustrating, could someone please help me out? Thanks before hand.

have any body tried to flash an ECS RS482-M754 bios.... i tried to update my bios but i seem to obtain the wrong upgrade and now my pc wont boot. how can i recover my previous bios???

I used @BIOS and I thought I upated the bios flawlessly in my GA-8st800 motherboard, BUT, I have a dual boot and now linux doesn't recognize my realtek network adpater, allthought the driver is there, and it was working before. Windows works OK. Weird, no?

Hi there,

I upgraded my Abit 190HD mobo from 14 to 17. It seemed to work, until the reboot. It failed with a black screen. any advice?

If removing the battery and resetting the CMOS doesn't work try unplugging all drives and peripherials except the floppy drive. If you have the proper BIOS on a floppy after unplugging all else you may be able to flash the BIOS properly at this point. Some BIOS's will seek the floppy automatically when all else is disconnected-worth a try.

hi
I have a gigigabyte 8i848p-g mother board
amessage appear
scanning for bios image
I put the bin file in a fat32 harddisk and poweron then autorecovering begin then suddenly stopped and faild and my computer make restart

My motherboard came with a BIOS cd that the
hardware can use to reflash the BIOS if the BIOS
is use is corrupted. The manual says the motherboard looks at the floppy (if it exists)
then the CD for the original BIOS image, (a special filename, (I guess its doing what some
routers do and if its flash fails look for a TFTP connection to supply a new image?).

Hi, i recently upgraded the bios on my packardbell a7145 with the bios from the pB website for the A& series but after flashing the Screen will not power up properly, with a torch you can see the desktop etc. The old bios i remember was version a18 i think and the 2 new ones on the site are a22 and a23. tried them both. Is it possible to recover to the old bios?
