    I have an HP Pavilion DV2000 laptop and want to update my bios. I know that HP have the upgrades, but are there any other places where I can find bios updates for Wistron manufacturer? I want to upgrade it because I want to overclock my laptop through the bios, but I can't with the HP bios.

    if u do find an update be careful if u do update it because if something goes wrong u will have to do a blind flash which i think is complicated to fix

    Even with the updated BIOS you won't be able to overclock.
    Try to use setfsb to overclock.
    If you have trouble with that then the thread in my sig may help.
