Here's a site with a bunch of Aristo bios updates. Make sure you properly identify your motherboard. http://www.nix.ru/support/drivers.html? ... vendor=288. Good luck.

your mainboard is one of those:

PCB ID:

bios:

now there are four (FOUR!) different bios versions in the archive. please make sure you pick the correct by reading the included note.
my guess your bios is: V1215IAG.BIN For ITE Super IO chip
ICW-W144 Clock Gen IC
(Dec/2000)
