Hello,
My Acer Aspire M5910 has two operating systems installed in parallel: original Windows 7 and Ubuntu that I added later.
CPU: Intel Core i5 CPU 650 @ 3.2GHz x 4
Graphics card: Geforce GT 440/PCIe/SSE2
Everything was fine for 2 years until Ubuntu started crashing regularly. Following the advice from the forum for this distribution, I updated the BIOS (from version P01.A to P01.A3L)
Unfortunately, now it's Windows that is suffering the consequences since it no longer boots: it starts to load and a blue screen appears too quickly to read what's written on it and the computer restarts.
I see that the description for version P01.A3L is: BIOS for Linux Supports Intel Clarkdale K0 stepping CPU. Does this mean that this version is only for Linux?
Should I go back to the previous version of the BIOS? Is it done the same way?
Thank you very much.

Regarding Linux Ubuntu,

Hello Arno59
I updated the BIOS following the instructions provided by Acer: using the command line on Windows. In my case, I only needed to go to the correct directory and type "flash1M"
the version of Ubuntu is 14.04.1 LTS (Trusty)
