Open your case and look onto your motherboard. Search for SV-266M or SV-266MA and a revision number (Should be Rev 1.0 or Rev 1.1 or higher)

It seems Syntax released both boards with a different clock generator, each revision with different clock generator seems to use their own Bios. If you try to update yust out of the blue then there's a 75% failure chance.

Do not update unlike you really have to because of problems!
