Christopher, thank you for that information and the direct link, I've been able to download the BIOS file.
Unfortunately, it's a windows-only download. I've extracted it with archive manager, and the program inside is called "InsydeFlash.exe". Going by the wiki article you linked, it seems the only option for me is to use a Windows 7 repair disc, since I don't have a windows 8 system, the BIOS update is not dos based, and flashrom's wiki says it won't work on a laptop. Just one question: Do you know if I can use a windows-7 repair disc created on another computer to do the BIOS update? Because this laptop is ubuntu-only, and right now my windows desktop PC does not have a CD burner (I would get one for it if that could help me run the BIOS update). The system-restore thing doesn't want to create an ISO, otherwise I'd have moved it to the ubuntu laptop and burned it there already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471530 Title: Acer Aspire 5315: Fan turns off when loading linux, resulting in system overheat and emergency shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1471530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
