@Gauge900 - Drop this into 100.00.16.08 folder, then flash back using command below. There will be long list of success/fail, then reboot and redo FPT step #1 from spoiler below with new file name (Or toss out previous biosreg dump if you made one), and send me that new BIOS region dump http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…222879656553548
H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt
If you have already modified the BIOS in ANY way, you will need to re-flash it back to factory defaults using factory method (NOT FPT)!!! Additionally, please remove all BIOS passwords, disable secure boot, and disable TPM or Encryption if you have enabled. Do this before moving on to below
If you do not have Intel ME drivers installed, install them now from your system driver download page, then start over here after reboot. Check your BIOS’ main page and see if ME FW version is shown. If not then > DOWNLOAD HWINFO64 HERE <
Once HWINFO is open, look at the large window on the left side, expand motherboard, and find the ME area. Inside that section is the ME Firmware version. Take note of the version. (ie. write it down or get a screenshot)
Once you have that, go to the thread linked below, and in the section “C.2” find and download the matching ME System Tools Package for your system. (ie if ME FW version = 10.x get V10 package, if 9.0-9.1 get V9.1 package, if 9.5 or above get V9.5 package etc) > DOWNLOAD " ME System Tools " packages HERE <
Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and then inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder (NOT x64). Highlight that Win/Win32 folder, then hold shift and press right click. Choose “open command window here” (Not power shell! >> * See Registry file below *).
If you get an error, reply to this post with a screenshot of it, OR write down the EXACT command entered and the EXACT error given.
((If “open command window here” does not appear, look for the “Simple Registry Edit” below…))
Step #1 Now you should be at the command prompt. You are going to BACKUP the factory un-modified firmware, so type the following command: Command: " FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin "
>> Attach the saved "biosreg.bin ", placed into a compressed ZIP/RAR file, to your next post!!! <<
Step #2 Right after you do that, try to write back the BIOS Region dump and see if you get any error(s). Command: " FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin " ^^ This step is important! Don’t forget! ^^
If you get an error, reply to this post with a screenshot of it, OR write down the EXACT command entered and the EXACT error given.
Here is a SIMPLE REGISTRY EDIT that adds “Open command window here as Administrator” to the right click menu, instead of Power Shell Double-click downloaded file to install. Reboot after install may be required > CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD CMD PROMPT REGISTRY ENTRY <
If the windows method above does NOT work for you… Then you may have to copy all contents from the Flash Programming Tool \ DOS folder to the root of a Bootable USB disk and do the dump from DOS ( DOS command: " FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin " )
*** WARNING - To ANYONE with laptop and unlocked BIOS!!! DO NOT try to enable this graphics card or disable that card, switch cards etc. Otherwise you will end up with no display output (ie black screen) and no way to recover except by blind flash or with flash programmer. You can change graphics related settings, like changing memory sizes, or core speeds etc, just don’t try to disable one card or change which is main etc. Additionally, be very careful when trying to undervolt CPU, you can leave BIOS unbootable due to CPU voltage too low (Sometimes even 0.05 is too much)
WARNING *** - This BIOS is user specific! If you are not user Gauge900 at Win-RAID.com forum, DO NOT USE THIS BIOS!! If you do, and you are not Gauge900, then you will loose your serial, UUID, OG NVRAM, and possibly LAN MAC ID as well. You have been warned!!!
@DeadXT - Please link me to BIOS download page, from a page you have actually installed BIOS from. Then, do the following and let me know what error you get at #2

Then, do the following and include file from #1 above with these files - Please download the following package, and run the command below from each versions folder that directly contains it’s exe. Before doing this, make sure you have secure boot disabled in BIOS, any BIOS password removed, and TPM/Encryption disabled. Once done, copy the entire folder somewhere, delete everything but any created vars.txt and then repackage this and send to me, this way all created vars.txt remain in place in the folders of the version that created them. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…212104496994806
@DeadXT - Missing your biosreg.bin from step #1 - OR, if you know it, you can just tell me what BIOS your system uses from this EXE, it may be shown as family or BIOS ID when you flash or in system info somewhere (maybe check CPU-z motherboard page?) DH53F_1A.fd DH53F_10.fd
If you do not know, send me BIOSreg.bin from step #1
@DeadXT - Thanks, in case you ever need to know later, your system uses this one from the exe >> DH53F_1A.fd Please confirm you can see >> Advanced >> OverClocking Performance Menu - (using new unsupress edit method, need to know if OK or not for Insyde too - thanks) Flash back via >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm.bin http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=05214027326149289692 - Forgot to unlock vars first!
@DeadXT - Ohh yes!! Very sorry, I forgot to send you that first! Here, drop this modified vars into 100.0.9.2 folder, then program in via command below, there will be a list of success/fail, reboot http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…861966120397999
H2OUVE.exe -sv varsM.txt
Then run FPT command #1 again with new file name (like BIOSregnew.bin) and send me that file, then I edit it instead and you program back Very sorry I missed that, I got in hurry to edit that BIOS and thought we already did the vars unlock!

@DeadXT - Thanks for confirmation. As for the rest, please put those images in a max compressed zip and I will check to see if anything remains hidden, and if so I will make follow up edit for you
