I am at a loss for words. I've been searching and searching and posting and posting for well over a week. I found this forum by simply searching "bios download" and scanning for any site that I had not been to yet. Where? How do you have these?

Looking at them they appear legit with the build dates and such inside the .txt files. I won't be able to try them until tomorrow.

According to what I've seen elsewhere, C3AF1P01 makes the Rattler compatible with Windows 8, so I'm hoping it will fix the BSODs I'm getting within minutes of booting Windows 10.

Glad to help. I found them quite easily doing a Google search on the filenames. I downloaded them from a spanish site:

https://drivers.plus/es/foxconn-rattler-bios-a53f1p05/46724/
https://drivers.plus/es/foxconn-rattler-bios-c3af1p01/47538/

If Foxconn had other boards we could try and save those files as well.

I've used google, bing, yahoo, lycos, etc (even looked up popular Chinese search engines) for the filenames and all I came across was links to the now deleted Foxconn pages and sites that wanted money. And I'm not kidding when I say I went well beyond the first page of results.

It's interesting that when I try to follow those two links or even go to drivers.plus I get:

Something went wrong. Access from your network is restricted, please try later.

I just tried Tor browser. I am able to get to those drivers.plus pages. But bing gave the same results searching for C3AF1P01.zip but I give up on google because it was just one Captcha after another.

Foxconn has (had) quite a few boards. I actually had luck finding a file or two in the Way Back Machine. But I didn't save them since they weren't what I needed.

In Windows 7 I used the Foxconn LiveUpdate (v1.8.2.11) to update to A53F1P05. The BIOS changed to P05 and the date went from 5/4/11 to 6/9/11.

So I tried using the LiveUpdate software to go to C3AF1P01. That did not go well, giving me a black screen at boot.

Luckily this board has a backup BIOS selected by jumper. I tried using a USB thumb drive to fix things but got nowhere. So I booted into Windows and was able to go back to A53F1P05 on the main bios using LiveUpdate. (It was quite uncomfortable moving that jumper on a running computer but that is about the only thing stated in the manual, "Besides you are doing the BIOS recovery procedure, don't change the jumper setting when system is power on").

I tried Windows 10 and still get not only installation issues but the Task Manager says the CPU is 100% and BSODs.

So I'm trying to figure out C3AF1P01. Would you be able to tell me what the difference between the directories MEBIOS and SYSBIOS? Instructions I have found usually only mention MEBIOS and state to create a DOS bootable USB drive using the HPUSBFW.exe program. Then copy the contents of MEBIOS to the root of the USB. But what about SYSBIOS?

Thank you.
