A Google search for i430FX-2A59CF54C turns up Fugutech M506, a version of PC-Chips M506. It uses the same BIOS as the M507; see the
PC-Chips Lottery M506/M507 page. I'll see whether a patched BIOS is around, but you may find that your mobo does not have a flash EEPROM. Can you check by attempting to save your BIOS with the AWDFLASH utility or Uniflash ?

Tested patched BIOS for PC-Chips M506 at the "tested" link in my signature. Save your BIOS before flashing, if flash is possible.

With 4.50G Bios Core the Bios is most likely stored in a non-flashable Eprom
