Hey I was wondering...

I have an Acer Aspire 5251-1762 and I'm sick of the fact that I'm hindered by the OEM Bios when it comes to overclocking my laptops GPU using AMDs program AMD OverDrive.

I know it's a complicated process when it comes to flashing the BIOS with the actual BIOS from the board manufacturer but I'm willing to take the risk because the laptop was free anyways.

Anyways, does anyone have an detailed information on how to do it? To recap, I'm trying to remove the Acer's custom BIOS with the actual bios that is supposed to be on there.
