American Megatrends BIOS

[Barrie1981]

Hello All,

I have an old (6 years) unbranded laptop that has no fan control either via the BIOS or via control software such as SpeedFan.

The problem is the fans are ridiculous noisy, despite cleaning the laptop and applying new thermal paste etc..

I am wondering if there is a way to update the BIOS - which I do on my separate gaming machine without issue.

However, as this laptop is roughly 6 years old it has an American Megatrends BIOS and I cant for the life of me figure how to source the correct update or even if its possible.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Its the following:

Motherboard:
Model: P65_P67RGRERA

BIOS:
American Megatrends
Version 1.05.19
Date: 07/29/2016

Thank you in advance

Can you remove the battery look on where the battery goes and the battery.

Sometimes the branding is also one the power brick.

Is there an OS installed and which and verson.

Sorry I need to be more specific..

It is a custom built lapop rather than unbranded with the following motherboard - Model: P65_P67RGRERA

Windows 10 Home: Build 19044

If not cautious on getting the proper BIOS for that motherboard, you will have a nice paperweight.

Lets get a speccy report to see if that tells us the Manufacture of the motherboard.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.
