    ANyone used the BIOS flash utility under window 7 x64? I killed my Vista install the 2nd day after I bought the damn thing, and I don't want to chance bricking the device.

    Whatever happened to command line flashing?

    Hm... after getting this new bios all my temps are up on my DV2 by, in some cases, 5c... anyone else have this happen? Even the temps for my HDD have gone up by a few degrees.
