2 |

|

as far as identifying your chip TAKE THAT SUCKER APART :), take a picture, |

post it , we will figure it out, to figure out your bios, well, youve |
6 |
already told me quite a bit, sounds like your running an evox m8 bios, |

10 |
extreme, as it wont allow you to play xbox games anymore) |
11 |
|
12 |
anyway.. |
13 |

15 |
question 3. |
