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.


How to load my BIOS?

How to update module of PCIEx video cards?


Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor english.

Can nobody help me?

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.

thanks for your reply.

That's right.

Brand: Fujitsu-Siemens
Model: Amilo M3438G. [It's the same of Alienware M5700 (Both brands are Uniwill P71En0 model resellers)]

But won't work. And alienware m5700 (same Uniwill P71En0 notebook reselled) has BIOS 1.12. All both BIOs run correctly on my notebook, but 7800Go won't work too!

I need to know if it's possible to update myself this BIOS PCIEx module's.

Someone can tell me which utility would have to use?

Thanks to who will want to answer me.

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.
