[REQUEST] Acer Aspire X3900 BIOS Unlock

[YousifOhEight]

Hey Guys i cant overclock this machine at all and it would be great if someone can tell me if the attached bios file which i have currently updated to and flashed can be modified to allow bios overclocking.

Thanks Guys!.

Lots of hidden settings including overclocking , advanced chipset , pnp/pci configurations and more!

Flash at your own risk!

Ok sorry if i may be becoming a pain, but as i went through options FSB is still not able to be raised so i think i might just not worry about overclocking this machine, and any little attempt to raise SDRAM makes me have to go through the whole CMOS process over again which is a pain, so seeing as their isnt much to actually do, in my knowledge, maybe more advanced users will use the other options more safely i'd like to say that i was happy to have tested this, but now as i try to revert to the OEM bios i get a "cannot read IIM error". How can i install the real BIOS over this modded one as i have also noticed turbo boost is not working anymore.

Thank You

Sorry for being a pain

Exact Error is "Cant Analyze IIM information"

Does this error appear when flashing from DOS or Windows?

Whilst we do not normally recommend it , if you can boot up the computer and get into windows , download the windows bios updater and see if it will reprogram the official bios (Do this in Safe Mode though if i were you)

Lol amazingly im actually getting the error inside windows, hmm maybe i cant update my flash anymore? it would be ok but im just worried if any accidents happen in bios again. BTW i had also set something else when it had stopped working lol some MAX CPUID could that have stoppped it from working? or was it infact the 800mhz SDRAM setting.

If your getting that in Windows , try making a Bootable DOS USB/CD/DVD following our tutorial on the site and see if you can flash from DOS to restore the bios
