Is my bios "locked"? is there such a thing?

[ashegam]

I have a Sony comp and when I go in the bios it's very simple and has no overclocking features what so ever. I've been told it's an OEM board with a locked bios. I tried seaching for a bios at ASUS but couldn't find the model number.

Any of you know what I should do next to be able to upgrade the bios?
here is the info I could gather

system....
Manufacture: Sony Corp
Model: PCV-RS720G(UC)
Verison: to be filled by O.E.M

Mainboard....
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
MPS Version: 1.40
Model: PTGD2-VX
Version: Rev 1.xx

So is there a bios for my board or am I stock with this one since it's a sony etc...?

chances are they are, since its a manufactured computer
usully dell, sony, and all that have motherboards where the bios cannot be altered

YOUR BIOS WILL BE LOCKED,



AND DON'T TRY TO FLASH THAT BOARD WITH a ASUS BIOS SIMILAR TO YOURS ..

IT WILL NOT WORK AND YOUR BOARD WILL NOT BOOT...
