A BIOS dump for a desktop motherboard, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 1.7 MB under the original file name G42-478TX.zip. The facts do not name the brand, model, board number or revision, so confirm those against your own board before using the file. Technicians use a BIOS dump to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update. Match the board identification first, and read and save the original chip contents as a backup before writing anything.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: G42-478TX. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
