Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I have the same board in a Packard Bell iConnect that I picked up recently and its exhibiting strange behaviour like only booting with the jumper in "safe" mode (there's a jumper for normal/save/recovery). I was wondering if you happen to have come across the latest BIOS for this board I can try flashing it?

Is this your baord? - http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/houston4.htm - if so this seems to be listed as a BIOS update (tho you don't say which version you're currently running) - https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php … 42bd4ddac49ae72

Yes, I think it is the same layout. Weird how its not called Houston on the board anywhere? I think it says v3 on boot so may already be latest. I suppose I could try and dump the BIOS and compare them in a hex editor. Thanks for your help!

I made a post asking if anyone has any recovery media for this machine: Packard Bell iConnect (Houston4 Motherboard) Recovery Media

Just wanted to say thanks for the link to the BIOS, I would have never guessed what to search for 😀
