There should be a white sticker on the BIOS chip (or elsewhere on the mobo) with a V66M (or similar) inscription on it. Please do check.

Acer M3A

used in some Altos systems. Post the system designation please. Updates must come from Acer.

We need the system designation for that. Is this an Acer Altos server and if so, what model?

Regretably, it didnt work, but i dont know if it didnt because of another reason.
The only flasher that didnt hang up my computer was af340 (aflash as you suggested).
With that program i was able to make a copy of my old bios and everything, but when i load the new bios the programs says that it cannot read that file.
Could this be because the .bin file was corrupt or just because it wasnt the right one?
I´ve tried to find it on my own, but the page is in chinese, and i barely understand english.
Thanks for all your help.
