HOW TO FIND YOUR NEW BIOS
First and foremost, you need to know who makes your motherboard
and what model, version & rev it is.
Find the web page for support or contact the dealer you bought it
from and have them e-mail you the bios file. Chances are pretty good that the board
maker has a web page and has a support area for your motherboard. If your motherboard has
more than one version or rev it is ABSOLUTELY required for you to get the right file for
your board. A single rev difference can cause a dead or crippled board.
Wim's Bios
page and Motherboard Homeworld
are excellent resources to track down your bios.
You can also search using you bios boot-up string to identify your
board. Wim has extensive look-ups for this and Motherboard Homeworld has a bios string look-up
database. Download CTBIOS.exe and run it.

this.
