I recently upgraded to version 3.10 of my bios with this update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftw...;lc=en&dlc=en
however, i want to revert back to my older 3.07 bios because i'm having issues with 3.10
Does anyone have the motherboard A8M2N-LA bios 3.07 version.
Thanks so much, person who helps will be rewarded. I need it badly

what are the issues you have with 3.10? A new bios is supposed to solve issues, not create them, maybe some setting got lost or maybe you didn't clear cmos after the update (you should, both before and after) which can cause hiccups as well.

| Could the "blank" screen be caused by the BIOS trying to display a non-existent OEM logo ???

| i'm not sure. Before windows loads up, the monitor just says "mode not supported" then the windows loading screen comes up, my monitor drivers are up to date

That sounds like the video card or chipset is powering up with horizontal or vertical scan rates that are outside your monitor's range.
If so, then that's very strange behaviour because AFAIK the default power-up mode is text mode 3. IME the usual resolution is 640x350 at a refresh rate of 70Hz or less. This should be easily handled by all monitors.
Is it possible that your BIOS is consulting some incorrect data in CMOS RAM and using these data to load your video registers? I would clear the CMOS RAM again and try to reset the BIOS to failsafe defaults.
