What the Gateway support site shows is that they didn't do a BIOS update after the initial release, so what you have is already the latest.

If it helps, my 'System Information' says...
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. P11-A4, 11/1/2013
But the model is Gateway DX4885.
If there is any other information I can add that would help, please let me know. Thanks again!0 -

Why do I want to update?
My CPU fan is operating at low speed and I'd rather not run a third party software constantly to control fan speed. I currently run the processor at a low max state just so the computer doesn't auto shutdown Plus I'd like the ability to change the OEM logo to something custom at start up. I believe updated BIOS can fix both of those. At least that's what my research shows is likely. 0 -
Can you send some pics of all the bios tabs? Have you tried using the argos monitor program?

The chances are very great that none of those enhancements have been added to the last BIOS released for that model, since it is almost ten years old. They typically do BIOS tweaks for the sales life of the product and only add really egregious security fixes after that. Fan speed adjustments through a user interface are typically only included in some of the BIOSes for the gaming systems and I haven't heard of any that allow custom splash screens, since they use that as an advertisement to help keep the brand name in the forefront of your thoughts.

You can change both by the looks of this.

I'm simply asking if anyone has the latest BIOS for this system. I've done my research and have zero questions, so I don't think there's any reason to take pics of my current BIOS. Is there some reason I'm missing?Can you send some pics of all the bios tabs?
I don't mean to sound rude, but it's an easy thing.
If anyone has the BIOS, I simply would like to download it and give it a shot Appreciate anyone who can hook it up. 0 -
When he says he's not going to cover ways to do it when there isn't custom software from the motherboard manufacturer because it's "somewhat risky" he is fully correct. Acer and Gateway don't provide any apps to do that kind of tweaking and if the image size isn't exactly the same as what's embedded in the stock BIOS you can easily end up with a big, heavy brick.

I will keep this in mind.
My simple question remains, does anyone have the last BIOS for the Gateway DX4885?0 -
