Post subject: Custom computer, different Bios. Abit Av8 help. |
 |
|
I have an Alienware system with an Abit Av8. Abit tech support stated that because it was a custom computer, Alienware released its own BIOS updates for the board, not Abit.
Alienware stopped releasing updates a long time ago and the updates from Abit cause the error: "The program file's part number does not match with your system!".
I have read the section in the FAQ's that deals with this problem, but the message still appears after I've done the whole "awdflash av8_28.bin /py" jazz.
How can I update the BIOS with the latest edition from Abit?

My BIOS ID is: K8T800P-8237-6A7L1A1EC-00
The OEM states that the BIOS is for "Alienware use only".
Does that help?

Also (due to my relative noobishness with BIOS), if I have a different OEM or the last two digits are wrong (which I think they are), what can I do to get my BIOS to update off of the abit version?
