Things You'll Need:
- M60 motherboard
-
Step 1
Back up or copy your BIOS. You may write down the settings or use print-screen so that you will have a written copy. Back up your current BIOS image, as well, by using a utility such as cmos.zip to do this.
-
Step 2
Determine what version of BIOS you need. Check the version of the Precision M60 BIOS in Dell's website.
-
Step 3
Download the Dell software and BIOS. The file is named M60_A09.exe.
-
Step 4
Run the executable file that you downloaded. Run M60_A09.exe once finished. Now if this is successful, it will prompt you to update your BIOS. If not, it will say that the hardware is unsupported, meaning you don't have an M60 motherboard.
-
Step 5
Power cycle your computer by powering it down completely, then switch it on again.
-
Step 6
Clear your current settings. As your PC powers up, go into your BIOS settings. Find the option to either "Restore Defaults" or "Load Fail-Safe Defaults." This will either be on the main page or the last page of a tabbed menu. Navigate using the arrow keys, and follow all the on-screen instructions. If done, save your new settings and then exit the BIOS.
