Hello, guys, this being my first post, I would apologize the post to be lengthy.

Seeking advice from all.

My current situation is this:
I tried to install XP for a reason but a blue screen hardware error warning showed during installation so I stopped the intallation.
Then, gone back to Win 7 again.

1# Suddenly, a black screen came out showing “fixing firmware”. Then a prompt came in blue screen which was asking to load default BIOS setting, which I did.

2# Now, the PC does not shut down completely, only the hard disk, keyboard and mouse. All system fan, CPU fan and PSU never shuts down.
I have cleared CMOS. Then, I loaded F3 version BIOS from gigabyte using Q-Flash.

3# In device manager, there is an error in Intel Management Engine Interface that shows "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A device which does not exist was specified."

4# I have tried with fitc tool, whenever I drag & drop the bios, it shows an error "Flash Image: Unrecognized binary format"

5# So, I tried with ME Verification Utility from Intel which shows

“The Manageability Engine check has encountered an error.
Explanation: The application is trying to communicate with Intel® Manageability Engine firmware, and encountered an error because the Intel® Manageability Engine is disabled or not available.
Suggestion: Verify that the Intel® Manageability Engine is enabled, and communication between application and the Intel® Manageability Engine is working.
Error 9258: Communication error between application and Intel(R) ME module (FW Update client)
Explanation: The Manageability Engine firmware failed to return an application result
Suggestion: Please flash the Intel® Manageability Engine region and unplug power for 6 seconds. For mobile platforms, also remove the battery.
Error 9259: Internal error (Could not determine FW features information)”

6# It takes a lot of time to boot successfully and there is unsuccessful boot as well.

7# My motherboard got 3 chips: Backup bios (MXIC 25L8006E), Main bios (MXIC 25L8006E) and ME bios (MXIC 25L6465E).

MEInfo
Error 9259: Internal error (Could not determine FW features information)
MEManuf
Error 9296: MEManuf Test Failed

How to save the ME bios image to hard drive?
How to cure the ME bios?

Waiting for the kind advices !

Thanks in advance

My system is:
Codename Clarkdale
Specification Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz Socket 1156 LGA
Memory Size 4 GBytes
Mainboard Model Gigabyte H55M-S2V
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
BIOS version F3
SAMSUNG HD0103SJ
Capacity 1000 GB
OS Win 7

Looks like it has Descriptor and ME in ME_BIOS and BIOS region in both M(ain)_BIOS or B(ackup)_BIOS selectable by a jumper/switch/GPIO pin. Stupid, but working.

Unfortunately, I don't have a chip programmer that I can dump the images from these chips ?
Is there any other way ?

Here is the spi.bin and two screen shots of fptw
Have a look inside.
Thanks

now backing up pc, then, will try
thanks a lot

Thanks with millions of hot cakes
The system now shuts down completely.
Just a little problem still remains, the device manager still shows yellow marks with "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Is it a problem?
I have uninstalled, then installed the driver but that didn't work.

Thanks & Regards

I don't know who are the creators of this forum. Enormous thanks to all of them. Special thanks to plutomaniac for giving the modded bios. You, guys, saved me.

I have never felt so moved by using a site such as this one. I’ve been online for a long time. It’s amazing to me that the folks here come on to help people over and over again, asking nothing in return.

Should I keep the major and minor same or I can jump to any other like 6.0.30.1203 to 6.2.61.3535 for UPD?
Do I need to worry for the different file size ?

I am making sure myself to avoid any failure.
Thanks again

Thanks a lot again for this enormous help that you are doing for us.
Without appreciation and enormous thanks, I don't have anything to give in return.
