[jvkthejedi1]

hoping to find bios file 5.10 or maybe 5.12 or any bios that is after 5.04 and previous to 5.14 as the bios im running is not saving to the chip and am hoping that a flash with a newer or even the same will reset the chip and allow the bios to save. im running pentium duel core and 4 gbs of sys mem. cannot use the amd 7750 hd because the bios wont save to use the pcie slot. any help would be grand thank yall

Its a Compaq Persario 5010, 775 socket t running duel core 3.47ghz with 4gb sys mem the bios will not save to the chip. I was thinking that if i flash with a newer bios it might save as keeps resetting to default. What i was really looking for is bios 5.06 or 5.08 with xp support for 32 bit.  bios id is 15-Q99 011020. Im actually trying to build a vintage machine to run win XP for 32 bit games. I was also wondering where i might download a clean copy of win XP as i have a currupted fs on my copy, i do have a key code that i have just purchased from a vender. i think the bios is more important, as i found for vista and win 7 but nothing available for XP. i do have a copy of win 7 but not sure if it will play the material i want to play. the vintage machine will not be online as i am only going to use for the older games. Thank you for looking into this for me
