Description
BIOS dump for the MSI G31M2, supplied as a single BIN file of about 0.5 MB under the original name MSI_G31M2_v.1.0 (w25x40v).bin. The file name suggests the dump was read from a Winbond W25X40V chip, though the board revision is listed only in the name as v.1.0. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm that your board matches the model and revision, and back up the original chip contents first.

Questions about this file
How do I flash this BIOS dump?
Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.
Will this BIOS work on my board?
Only if the board number and revision match: MSI G31M2. 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.
