Help!! I have an HP Pavilion a375c desktop, that came with a ASUS P4SD-LA motherboard, which (no surprise) came with a OEM BIOS ("dumbed down" BIOS).
Well, you guessed it, I've gotten bored setting the system time and the drive boot order.
So can any one help me get a non-dumbed down BIOS for that mobo, or maybe a BIOS for a different ASUS mobo that is compatible with my board?
I've called HP, ASUS, and American Megatrends (AMI), But to no avail
American Megatrends said they did not have a non-OEM BIOS and that I would have to contact HP, HP said that there was nothing wrong with my BIOS, and that I should not try to look for compatible BIOS form any where but www.hp.com, and they made it sound like if I looked for a third party solution my computer would blow up
(man, big companies can be stupid!),
ASUS told me that a non-dumbed down BIOS did not exist for my mobo, however if I new someone that could program custom BIOS they could program me one, and that a third party solution may exist (man talking to ASUS was a relief after being nagged form HP about how great the BIOS I had was
)
Any and all help would be much appreciated
