BIOS Updates forum

I'm afraid

HP's description of the fixes in the bios looks like it was targeting Vista problems.

If you try it let us know how it works out. A lot of people are gunshy when it comes to updating the bios for this motherboard.

You should pick up a portable USB floppy drive to use with computers that don't have a floppy drive included. It makes the flashing process simple

You could try Bflash instead of the award flashers. PM me with an email address and I'll send it to you. It might work.

Here's a link to make a self extracting bios disc for the m863g motherboard, it doesn't say for which version though. http://support.cybertronpc.com/cgi-bin/ ... t&file=150

I formatted my hard drive, flashed the 3.14 bios ( thanks Perry), reinstalled the 10 recovery discs and voila, no more high cpu utilization just normal 0-2%. What the hell is wrong with HP that they won't give out the 3.14 bios?

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.

I chatted up tech support at HP about the 3.14 bios update they said it was not for the A8AE-LE and that the 3.13 bios was the only one for this board. My problem with this board is the high cpu utilization at idle even with all windows services and startup programs disabled including in safe mode. ...

I'd be happy to try it right now. Anything would be better having my computer use 80% of my processor at idle.

Someone has it here, they're just not sharing.

If i can get it i will gladly send to anyone who wants it.

I'll try that when it's up and running, but i don't believe they've made 3.14 available to the general public. I was hoping someone already had it and could email it to me. Thanks

I need the 3.14 bios for the A8AE-LE motherboard in a Compaq Presario sr1710nx computer.
