Answers to Common AMIBIOS and non-AMI product related Questions:


a.) What's a BIOS?

b.) The BIOS is yours. It says AMI everytime I boot up. Why can't you support it?

c.) Why can't I use a BIOS from a similar configured system?

d.) I understand AMI didn't originally port my BIOS and isn't the motherboard/computer manufacturer of my motherboard/computer. Since AMI is a BIOS company and should have the expertise, why can't AMI do a BIOS port and provide me with an update to my motherboard BIOS?

e.) I would pay money for a good BIOS update. Sounds like there is money to be made here. Why doesn't AMI simply keep a library of all possible hardware combinations and offer those as BIOS updates?

1.) Is there a backdoor password for the AMIBIOS CMOS Setup?

2.) Why does the AMI Logo show up all of a sudden? Is this some kind of Malware?

3.) Why is the BIOS Flash procedure different from my motherboard manual and your website?

4.) I need motherboard BIOS and device driver updates but don't know who made my motherboard. How can I determine the manufacturer of my motherboard?

5.) I have a computer (notebook, laptop and/or desktop) with your BIOS. It shows an error code. What does this error code mean?

6.) My motherboard has your BIOS, however my motherboard manufacturer is out-of-business. Can you supply me with a BIOS update?

7.) I want to customize my BIOS boot screen with name of my company. Can you provide me with utility that can do this?

8.) I have a MegaRAID (or HyperDisk) Controller. It has AMI printed on the board, but there is no information on your website. Where can I get support for it?

9.) Is there a way to remove American Megatrends software/AMIBIOS from my computer?

10.) I have a personal computer made by AMI. I need a system recovery disk. Can you sell me one?

11.) Why doesn't AMI build motherboards for the personal computer market?

12.) I understand that my motherboard isn't made by AMI. However, I have a question about one of the basic BIOS features on my motherboard. Why is this feature hidden in the BIOS on my motherboard and how do I enable it?

13.) I am attempting to update the BIOS for my computer so it functions better with Microsoft Windows 7. Do you have any BIOS updates for me?

14.) I have a Compaq Presario. It displays the AMI when it boots up. Now the sound is gone. Can you repair my motherboard?

15.) I have an ASUS motherboard that displays a FAN ERROR. I checked all the wires. They are hooked up properly and the fan is spinning at the proper RPM. How do I get rid of your message?

16.) Do you have an AMIBIOS Firmware Update program for Linux®?

17.) "Press F1 to continue," keeps displaying every time I turn on my computer. What gives?

18.) Your motherboard identification utility, AMIMBID, didn't work. Now what?

19.) Where can I find a list of all computer hardware manufacturers?

20.) There is a company that I found online that offers BIOS upgrades for ANY computer or motherboard. Is this for real?
