Hi there.

I'm wondering if any of you may be able to help me. I purchased a 2nd hand Alienware today and I was recommended to update the bios to put a better GPU in. I went from A07 and tried to do A14 however it froze and then bricked my bios. (Stupidly I thought the .exe was going to compile on to a usb, not actually run the update inside of windows)

Just spent £300 on the machine the hour earlier and was feeling pretty stupid, especially when I couldn't find any replacement board. Then I stumbled across bios reflashing..

I'm completely new to all this and really don't know where to start. I have ordered a ch341a programmer

I would really really appreciate some help here in what I need to do to get my system operational again.

Please help me if possible. My wife's going nuts at me for buying a gaming machine and then bricking it an hour later.. I feel really stupid allowing the bios to update Inside of windows... Can't believe I did that
