Hi.

Nice forum, nice place.

Well, i'm going to update my laptotp with new PCIExpress video card. (6800go to 7800go)

But system can't recognize it.

I'm using AMIBCP 7.60.04 and AMIBCP for Windows 2.43.2.0.

But when i try to load ROM, AMIBCP 7.60.04 said: BIOS ROM checksum is bad.

AMIBCP for Windows 2.43.2.0 is crashing.

It would be convenient if you gave us the laptop brand and model so as not to waste time trying to identifying it through its BIOS ID.

There aren't any BIOS update from Fujitsu-Siemens.
Your original BIOS file for AMILO M3438G / AMILO M4438G:

Are you sure your new viodeomudle is working and not somehow damaged?
Maybe it needs more power than your notebook is able to deliver.

Yes, it works.

May be more power is required, may be not.

May be new module in BIOS is required to recognize new NV43M, may be not.

This is the reason for why BIOS update is required in order to eliminate this possibility.

Can you help me to OPEN this BIOS?

Thanks in advance.
