tacumadesigns Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 "Hey have and m17x r3, bios a12 unlocked. I enabled igfx in the second advance menu Option in the a12 unlocked bios and was locked out my computer. I did a blind flash and was able to restore"my new bios problem is everytime i try to flash a12 unlocked bios it doesn't show hidden menus. I ordered my GPU and should be arriving any day now. I tried flashing down to a12 dell bios and then back to a12 unlocked but the hidden menus weren't showing up.What do i have to do to get a12 unlocked to show all menus.

tacumadesigns Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 what happened was i mistakenly enabled igfx in the a12 unlocked and the system went blank and after a successful blind flash my system was restore and working. Since my new GPU arrives Friday i just want to check my bios to make sure it was running the a12 unlocked version which is essential to the gpu upgrade. it doesn't show hidden menus. Im wondering if i have to clear the cmos settings again blind flash and then flash back to a12 unlocked in windows.ps: load optimal settings is greyed out in bios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
