On a side note, I am going to be downgrading the OS to XP Home (I know, I know….W7 is free – but I like XP). 7B3P091G - Release Date BIOS? Can anyone else confirm that they have this same BIOS or even know what was fixed with this release? Please help! Thanks. So here I am trying to track down the BIOS version that was originally on my motherboard and now after accidently down-grading it to a previous version, the newer version is nowhere to be found!ĭoes anyone know where to find the American Megatrends Inc. Emailed Foxconn (they manufactured the board specifically for Gateway). It programs the main BIOS image, boot block or OEM configurable ROM regions. Utilized for factory or field BIOS updates, AFU is flexible enough to update the entire Flash part or only a portion.

Emailed American Megatrends Inc – Said that the BIOS was modified by Gateway and they no longer have support or even the rights to it. AMI Firmware Update (AFU) AMI Firmware Update (AFU) is a scriptable command-line utility for DOS, Microsoft Windows®, Linux, FreeBSD and the UEFI shell. Referred me to the Gateway support page for the motherboard.

Called – Said they did not know about the newer version of the BIOS and said that’s how it came from the factory. Emailed and chatted with Gateway support – both tech reps said they had no record of the newer version of the BIOS and that the one on their support site was the only one they had. Restart your computer and wait for. Now, after realizing my mistake, I’d need to re-flash the MB to the original version that it came with (7B3P091G ) but have run into a brick wall trying to find it.ġ. We can try the following ways to troubleshoot the issue: We need to set the setting of Boot From a USB Drive or CD.

I (mistakenly) assumed that the version from Gateway's website was the latest version and proceeded to download and install it. The latest (and only) BIOS version that is available from Gateway's support website was American Megatrends Inc. The BIOS version that came on the computer was American Megatrends Inc. Just bought a refurb Gateway DX4200-09 with the follwing mainboard:
