    Have anyone done it or know what the flash fixes? im thinking about doing it but dont want to if it will cause more harm then good

    the reason im thinking about flashing is from my getting random lockups doing almost nothing (ie: internet, music, etc...)

    thx in advance

    I flashed my MS-1652 with the current GX630 Bios. I wasn't having any problems but It did enable Overclocking for me. I got a big empty space between Eco and the camara so the button for overclocking is there, you just cant see it.

    I see all the time where people flash the Bios AND Firmware, where do you get the firmware? I have only flashed the Bios and everything seems to be fine.
