Thank you. Is FreeDOS a replacement of DOS? Rufus only have FreeDOS as a option. It should work the same, right?

Yes, it uses the UEFI boot. It is enabled in BIOS and windows boot manager is already set when I boot into BIOS.

Hello, It recently started booting up slowly, I have an Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 and normally when starting my laptop it only takes about 3-5 to fully boot, it was taking between 20-30 sec (some times close to 1min) to just to show the boot logo. I figured it was maybe the Windows 10 anniversary update that was causing this. The quick way I tested this was removing the SSD and boot from another OS drive. I was still getting a very long boot time. I guess something must have went wrong in the BIOS when it was booting. I haven't been inside the BIOS since December, so I haven't done anything recent to it. I went into BIOS to just restore it's defaults, save and restart. Yet the laptop didn't restart, it just shutdown. Now the laptop wouldn't boot, well for a good 2-3 sec and then shutting off. I started guessing that one of my RAM went bad. I removed them and tested them. The laptop would startup with some RAM in certain slots only. Which confused me because it what seems like RAM slot 1 is working, but when the laptop restarts/shutdown, RAM slot 2 & 4 is working and 1 & 3 is not. It got to the point that it wouldn't boot at all again. I resorted to remove the battery and the CMOS battery (Two times), to force a BIOS reset. Finally back in Windows and laptop running, but it still stalls at booting at times. I contacted my reseller about the problem with my P650SE and they forwarded to their factory tech. The factory tech told me they have seen issues like mine and it was not any hardware issue. It was BIO, EC or drivers and such. So within the email they gave me the latest 1.05.01 BIOS and EC for my P650SE, along with "how to flash docs". The documents only talk about flashing from within Windows, says nothing about how to do it from DOS. (I flashed from within Windows before on a desktop, the results wasn't pretty...) I tried looking at Prema Mod's videos to see if I can use his method of flashing, which is easier and have used before. Is it okay, if I just replace the BIOS and EC from P6xxSE_39_310_Stock.rar with the ones provided from my reseller and rename them to fit the batch files? The reseller have a lot more files included with their BIOS than Prema Mod's. (Like the reseller have 32 files, while Prema Mod has 6 files)

The flash was successful, and the custom fan speed now works. Not the way how I imagine it to work, thought it was suppose to keep a constant speed, but it tunes up the fan speed depending on the temperature. I'm glad it's working now, Thank you. I noticed the OEM boot logo is gone. Is there any harm by me adding back the OEM boot logo? I made a backup of the old BIOS, couldn't find how to backup the EC, can I pull the image from the backup and add it to the current BIOS or replace the current BIOS with the backup BIOS? Not sure if BIOS 1.03.09RLS1 is the same as the BIOS 1.03.09 I flashed and if it will work with the new EC. I seem to be missing option in BIOS that I can't seem to remember... maybe not important.

I'm trying to use the custom fan speed option in Hotkey v3.19.32 and it don't seems to work at all. Even the stock v3.09.21 hotkey that came with my P650SE wasn't applying custom fan speed. The custom fan speed option have my laptop running quietly with no sudden burst of sound, but it ignores what fan speed I set it too and run at it's lowest rpm speed it seems. I tested to see if it will rump up the rpm speed if the CPU was stressed and had the max fan speed set at 80%, CPU quickly jumped to 80-92C and fans stayed running at lowest speed. I stopped stressing the CPU before it went any higher. Fn+1 max speed and automatic works fine. I contacted the reseller and was told that "Sager and the factory said your BIOS / EC is the latest since yours shipped on June 5th". My BIOS / EC version is 1.03.09RLS1. I resetted my BIOS to default settings. I'm confused as to why the custom fan speed will not work? Is this maybe a Windows 8.1 problem?
