American megatrends bios update 06013/11/2024 ![]() ![]() There are several different versions of the M2N78-LA board, but the main physical difference I've notice in addition to the CPU support, is in the PCI/PCI-E/PCI Expansion slots. I won't go into how I feel about the 12-14 day downtime I'm going to have to endure to have my system shipped in for a motherboard replacement My system was running fine on v5.13 until a "proactive" update to v5.16 caused a bogus overtemp issue which ironically enough started on the initial reboot of the update. (As a side note, I recommend avoiding the v5.16 upgrade. ![]() The M2N78-LA (Viola) is from a HP Pavilion Media Center m8530f (Phenom x4 9550), and the BIOS are not interchangeable. I'm running a A4316F series HP Pavilion (Athlon IIx4 620) which uses the M2N78-LA (Violet6), previously running the v5.13 BIOS, updated to the current V5.16. Additionally your BIOS update errors may not be due to a Vista-vs.-Windows7 issue, as much as you may have the wrong BIOS revision for your flavor of M2n78-LA. You're most likely running a different version of the M2N78-LA board, not the almost identical M2N78-LA (Viola) discussed in the original Posting. FYI to those of you running a v5.13 BIOS. ![]()
