Hi friend,
It seems your is an AMD CPU laptop so there isn't possibility to use Intel FPT !
We have only two chance :
1. Your Bios is not Secure Flash so We can use InsydeFlash directly
2. Using Recovery Mode (many times not works)
another way is SPIPGM (external programmer)
Into your Bios are two versions DRABX620.fd (Win7) and DRABX862.fd (Win8) wich one is your or better have Win7 or Win8 installed ?
I will try to help You, but I am not sure We will gt the result.
let me know
Regards
If do You want use this tool We will have confirm about I said, run It as Administrator and upload here the result file :

I will wait You
i am willing to take risk .....
right now i am using windows 8.1 exnterprise edition from microsoft technet.
herewith i am attaching results.rar [ about 1.5 mb ], hence the attachment.
i downloaded the program & run as an administrator.

Ok friend,
your Bios is 2048 kb so I think It is for Win7 (You got Win7 laptop) and
your Bios Mod is here, so ownload, unpack and use InsydeFlash,exe to flash
your Bios Mod Menu Tabs Unlocked :

after unpacking, when i execute insydeflash.exe it throws up the error:
the version of ROM file is the same as that of BIOS.
i think we need to bump up the version number in order to flash rom....
do i need to install windows 7 compulsory ?

You have to modify platform.ini file :
Flag=1 to 0 !!!!!
[Bios_Version_Check]
Flag=1
CheckByBios=0
CheckByBiosErrorMessage="This BIOS file is not allow to flash. The flash process will be terminated."
;This flag is the switch of checking BIOS version.
;Flag default : 2.
; 0 : Don't check rom file version.
; 1 : Check BIOS version.
; When rom file version is older then BIOS, it will display
; a warning message and close application.
; 2 : Depend on BIOS report.
;CheckByBios default : 0.
; 0 : Normal process.
; 1 : It will pass version by IHISI 45h to BIOS and check by BIOS.
; When BIOS return not allow to flash, it will be terminated the process.
; When BIOS allow to flash, it will go ahead and do it's normal process.
; When this flag is enable but BIOS not support, it will skip version check and assume allow to flash.
;CheckByBiosErrorMessage
; default : "This BIOS file is not allow to flash. The flash process will be terminated."
; String : User defined error message when BIOS is not allow to flash this version image.
