[NAME]  Double clicking the BIOS installer update file is not the correct procedure.  Format a USB flash drive to FAT32, and copy the BIOS installer file from the website to the flash drive.  No other files should be on the flash drive.  Insert the flash drive into your computer.  Reboot your computer and press F12 repeatedly to get into the boot selection menu, and select "BIOS Flash Update".  Navigate to the file under the correct FS heading and select it and then press "Update BIOS".  LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER alone.  It will reboot several times, appear to be dead at times, but just BE PATIENT.  Your BIOS will update, and then you should do yet another reboot.  You can check using MSINFO32, via the Run command to check that the BIOS has successfully updated.  This is the safest method to update your BIOS.  I don't trust either Dell Update or SupportAssist.  Too much can go wrong. Check out this post for more information.  The BIOS update is for an older version, but the process is the same. I hope this helps.  Have a great day. Regards,-Phil
The drivers page for my 8930 says there's a new BIOS and it's urgent. My machine currently has 1.1.16 so upgrading to the new 1.1.17 should be simple. Unfortunately, after I download the installer and double-click the file, it crashes. At about that time it creates a file called amifldrv64.sys in the same location as the installer. I have no idea what this file does, and I don't recall previous BIOS installers creating files on execution. Here's what the Windows Error Reporting entry in the Application log in Event Viewer shows (screenshot): [IMAGE] Any thoughts on what to resolve and how? Thanks.
