Yes I noticed that, too... Googling like a pro (well not really) I found this, but I'm not going to try that just yet in case the error is there for a reason, but in the spirit of progress I figured I'd ask (and I don't expect a guarantee, that'd be silly) if there should be any reason the BIOS would not work if forced to flash?

3 - ERROR. File does not match BIOS file size or something very similar to that, quoting from a shoddy short-term memory.

Done, didn't work, same message - different wording.

Well, ironically I tried using WinFlash just for the heck of it yesterday, and all I got (and get now) is "Invalid BIOS file." Tested to see if the program was at fault by adding the stock BIOS, but that went fine.

Do you mean ASUS Winflash? But that can't be used to flash the vbios? I planned on using a DOS bootable and nvflash to flash, but, no? (I actually tried, too, thinking maybe the newer versions had .209 support or something)

I'd love to be able to flash with a .209 file, but alas, I cannot Referring to the G55VW zip file you've uploaded, it contains said file, and, well, it either speaks for itself or I'm ignorant...

I'd love to have a crack at that G55vw vbios, would it be rude to ask if someone could send it to me or something? I read earlier in the tread you need 5 rep posts to be able to download stuff, and I don't see that happening any time soon :/

Oh and for what it's worth, lspci returns "NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fd4 (rev a1)" on my G55vw, which is the same being returned on a G75vw

Yep that's my machine I screencapped, a G55vw =) I saved them as .rom and .txt, does that work, btw? Oh and thanks

Well, never had I thought saving my Asus g55vw's vbios would be this hard. I tried several drivers, but neither GPU-Z nor nvflash managed to read it. So, I went with the mother of all solutions, linux. I've attached the .rom and, if that is wrong, there's a text file as well. ASUS G55vw VBIOS: vbios.rom.zip

I'm also here from the ASUS ROG forum wondering about your vbios... For some reason neither nvflash or GPU-Z lets me dump the bios, well, nvflash reports a driver problem, and GPU-Z tells me nothing. I'm using the stock nvidia drivers instead of ASUS', that might be it, but I did post a screencap of GPU-Z for what that's worth here: http://rog.asus.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10434&stc=1&d=1343259880 If you want/if it's needed, I'll reinstall the old drivers and see if that helps.
