Thread Starter 
tired of that same old Alienhead looking @ you every time you turn on your computer well this guide will show you how to pt what ever you want up there.

Keep in mind this is borderline retarded on a 2000+ $ machine but some people just love pushing it

REMOVED


next you need to extract them to your DESKTOP

then you need to open the BIOS editor folder ad click this




Now you need to open the BIOS editor (the program is in your start menu)

Now you need to open the BIOS file that is located in the other file you downloaded and extracted to your DESKTOP




it needs to be in this folder: the other folder you dowloaded from me. It has the BIOS from Dell you will be modfying



now you will be met with a screen with a bunch of windows click the green screen in the top part of the screen highlighted with a bunch of red squares

Then you will be met with another screen click where i have highlighted with red arrows and you will see the standard alienware head





now you need to click import picture

The only pictures this BIOS takes are .JPEG MAKE SURE IT IS THE CORRECT EXTENSION unless you want a big paper weight




now you need to click File in the top left corner and click build BIOS

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THIS IN THE OTHER FOLDER YOU DOWNLOADED FROM ME ON YOUR DESKTOP.

YOU WANT TO REPLACE/OVERWRITE THE CURRENT BIOS IN THAT FOLDER



NOW YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR DESKTOP AND FIND THE OTHER FOLDER YOU DOWNLOADED. inside it will be a bunch of files only 1 of them is important.

click winplash highlighted in red




then you want to BE SURE THAT THE BIOS IN THAT FOLDER IS THERE.






THEN YOU HIT FLASH and you are done

reboot and do one of the following:

Cry because your retarded and screwed up doing this ...( which means you should not have tried)

Or feel pretty proud of your self
