Hi, i just purchased a laptop from PCSpecialists, and with core temps being what i think is slightly high for a new laptop, i want to check if my BIOS is at its latest.
sg@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-vendor
American Megatrends Inc.
sg@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
4.6.4
sg@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
12/09/2011
So, am i looking for AMI BIOS updates, or CLEVO ones? BIOS nearly a year old, im sure there will be an update since this?
I looked on the CLEVO website, using the information below, i think i have the right model, but the version info doesnt seem to tally up. I know they are all windows downloads but still should be the same version, 4.6.4?
sg@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
CLEVO CO.
sg@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
W2xxHSQ
