Odd BIOS Intructions From Sager Tech Support

In the past, Sager has simply sent me and others a BIOS in an .iso file and told to burn it to either a floppy disk or a bootable cd. I was getting the overheat warning lights and sounds on my 8790 a couple weeks after getting it back again in January. It was completely random in occurance; idling, gaming, etc. didn't make a differnce. I knew the machine was totally clean (I got it back and on the order it said cleaned), but I sprayed it out anyway. Still no difference. Sager Tech Support sent me the 879bv10.iso which I turned into a bootable CD, but then the instructions differ.

I noticed during the initial update (prior to ctrl c) that the file being access was called h6.bat. This instruction set had me access the other file h8.bat and add the -f2 operand. The file sizes are different and at the moment I do not remember the difference (I did a dir/w at the prompt to see what was there).

If G-Omaha, the BIOS master, could please comment on the nature of this command or the alternate instructions that deviate from the norm. Also, anyone else who has received these instructions are welcome to comment as well.

It should be noted that whatever the differneces between h6 and h8 are, it fixed the problem. I suspect that the h8 file changes the thermals for the warning/fan activity/etc. Further note: I had the latest BIOS installed installed by Sager when they replaced my mobo in December.

Wait, I just realized something. Its says system firmware update... That isn't the BIOS is it?

Note to people: I will not be emailing anyone this BIOS. I refuse to be held liable for anyone bricking their machines by following these instructions. This thread was intended for the sole purpose of determining if anyone else had been told to flash their BIOS by Sager Tech in unusual ways, the reasons for such installs, and if anyone has a clues as to what happend when I did what the instructions told me to do. Do not PM me, email me, or otherwise request the file.

G-Omaha: thanks, I consider you to be the defacto expert on this forum with reguards to Sager notebooks and tech in general by your omnipresence. I understand that you are not a BIOS master or even wrote this particular one, I was just looking for people to confirm my suspicians by way of their suggestions. All I really know is whatever it did it worked. Yes, I suspected the fan thermals were changed too.
