    Would it be possible to roll my bios back by downloading the older version and installing it. I want to do this because the updated version of the bios for my dv7t makes the cpu sensor read the initial start up value temperature but it wont change. I noticed in my older version it worked fine. And yes i know this is happening because there is no way my cpu maximum temperature was 20°C while my GPU hit 80°C.
