    Hello everyone
    This is my situation: I got this Acer Aspire 5920 with a nVidia GeForce 8600M GS that is of course burned. I tried the oven trick and now it works but I'm sure that it's going to be soon broken again. So I decided to substitute my current nVidia with an ATI HD 3650 - which is compatible as far as I know - but I've red somewhere that a BIOS problem could happen.
    If I didn't misunderstand, my BIOS should be able to recognize my new ATI and in order to do that I should "update" it to the new ATI features. How can I fix that?
    My BIOS version is: 1.3813
    My VGA BIOS Version is: nVidia 60.86.54.00.27
    How do I switch this into an ATI 3650 compatible BIOS version?
    Thank you in advance for your answers and please forgive my terrible English, I'm Italian.
    Regards,
    Enzo.
