I am in need of a BIOS update but cannot find it. The list on the website says that the manufacturer is either Artek or PCDC. I can't find their websites, maybe their dead or something. But anyway, can anyone help me out on this one?
Intel Chipset, Award BIOS...... Model 0527.

Please post your complete Bios-ID not only parts of it !!
Is there any message just below the Award Logo ?

The complete BIOS-ID is: i430VX-788-2A59GV79C-00. And I don't know of any specific messages below the Award logo. Can you give me an example?

Strangely, the main Wim's site lists manufacturer ID V7 as being YKM (Dayton Micro) -"yet another PC-Chips clone distributed by Dayton Micro". If that's true it may be worth looking at the PC-Chips Lottery website,

Please have a look onto your mainboard near the keyboard connector : Is there a rivision number printed onto it ?
