When I tried to install one of the bios mods from this forum, I get this error message:

IHISI: Flash Write error in SMI!

SMI Return Code 0x25

I have no clue what this message is, so Im just going to install it through a usb flash drive.

Can anyone tell me how I can reinstall my bios through usb flash drive? I know it can be done, I just don't know the exact procedure.

Please make it as simple as possible if you can. I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to this stuff. Also, if you know of any other solutions to this error, id love to know that too.

The moded Bios only increase gpu voltage @3D, it doesn't overclock it, you need to overclock using any software - I use nvidia Inspector; the bios allows you to overclock over the standard max 135Mhz.

Extract the .fb file from the Dell .exe bios file with 7-zip, rename it to M14R2.fb and put the file on a fat32 formated usb disk.. shutdown, remove the power cord, plug the USB disk in the USB 2.0 (the left one), hold the END key down and plug in the power cord... beep beep beep for like 1-2minute and it automatically shuts down with the new bios... congrats and enjoy

Thanks. But im all that savvy when it comes to stuff like this .can you please simplify the bold part please :/

Whats a fat32 formated usb disk? Would a normal 4gig usb be fine?

I found the FD file (M14R2A03 I believe). but where do I find the Dell.exe? how do i extract it?

Sorry for my noobness...

Does ANYONE know how to do this??
