Hey guys, have a Foxconn 2AA9 (AM3) Chipset. Seems as tho my bios was made by micro America inc or something. I tried going to the foxconn website for support and downloads for this. But, it seems both sites are telling me to go to eachother. Netiher has any for AM3 780G chipset.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I don't know what micro America is but I do know that Foxconn manufactures motherboards for other brands.
If you enter the BIOS or physically look on the motherboard you should see what model the mobo is.
Once you find that you can go to Foxconn support and check for the exact model you have.
The model number should be by the RAM slots (possibly between CPU and RAM), and may be small so you'll have to look closely.

Once you have it go to http://www.foxconnsupport.com/download.aspx and find the drivers etc.

From personal experience though, if the BIOS update doesn't install and you get error messages when it runs, leave it alone!
Also don't try to change the logo using the FoxLogo app!
Two good ways to brick your mobo (as I did)!
