I've been looking for a bios update for my pc but I cant find one that will work for windows 10 and to be honest I don't understand bios updating but heres the specs. any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Manufacturer: elitegroup
model :c51pvgm-m
chipset: NVidia GeForce 6150 rev.a2
southbridge; NVidia nforce 410/430 mcp rev. a2
lpcio: ite it8716
bios; phoenix technologies ltd
version: 6.00 pg
date:04/09/2007
first of, the BIOS has nothing to do with windows. version 10 or other.
you also state that you don't understand bios updating, so why do you want to update the bios?
you could end up with a paperweight instead of a computer.
unless there is a specific piece of hardware that you can not do without, I say stay away from the update.
Just my 2 cents

the problem I'm having is my USB's are freezing up along with my mouse and keyboard ports and random system freezing
ive tried that and it makes my system loop, ive also tried reverting to windows 8.1 and didn't help
sorry I was mistaken on the SFC scannow it was another scan that caused a loop but I tried chkdsk and a cmos error popped up when it auto restarted after the scan. also I attached my dm log
well if it ends up being your bios and it is messed up, your computer by reading your spec's seems kinda old. I would think finding a bios update for your motherboard, may be real difficult. Have you tried replacing the battery for your bios chip. Should be a common type. If battery is low this could cause your cmos errors. Most CMOS batteries are standard CR2032 "button" cells, just a idea......
There is a BIOS update for your board:
ECS > C51PVGM-M (V1.0)
However, it's from 2008. I doubt that it would be of much help in improving Win 10 compatibility.
Good luck.
I found that bios, and downloaded it but I cant figure out how to load it, I was hoping this PC would be okay but I guess imma breakdown and buy a new one
