    I am having issues with the A01 bios as well, does anyone have a link to the old one? The Dell website only has the new one.

    Sweet I would appreciate it Moo. I can not get any drivers to work with my integrated GPUs after updating the bios. Not even the stock drivers from Dell or Beta Dell drivers work.

    The integrated GPU, when I try to enable it via the bios, makes the computer boot to a black screen. Nothing but audio works.
