hi can anyone advise on updating the bios aspire 5630 running vista?

it has v3.33 installed but acer site has v3.23 for download, when log in to ftp site other versions available up to v3.60

the laptop freezes occasionally on start up and list a network device as the error, i have tried disableing the 10/100 net adapter in the bios but this cannot be done, the 10/100 adapter is not used as i use the inboard wifi

I would recommend you going back to the v3.33 then, if your issue appeared after the update. Rule of thumb is that never flash your bios, even how tempted the new version reads, unless you have an issue that the newer bios addresses. Good lucks.

cheers ...

indeed. also you can disable the ethernet via the device manager if you feel it may be the issue

yep, your 5630 should boot to the HDD(hard drive), if it's not, then it's either the mainboard or the hard drive, i would roll back BIOS, but if you go to setup and HDD is listed before ODD and then network, you got a prob with the hard drive, nothing else......i own a 5630, why did you update the BIOS, what was going wrong to make you update or change....................oh yeah, i work for acer/gateway, acer bought gateway
