Troubleshooting
If you encounter any problems while using DMIEdit, here are some possible solutions:
If DMIEdit does not run or shows an error message, make sure you have the correct version of the utility for your BIOS and platform. You can check the version of your BIOS by entering the BIOS setup or by using a tool like CPU-Z.
If DMIEdit does not show all the SMBIOS tables or values, make sure you have the latest BIOS update for your system. You can download the BIOS update from your system manufacturer's website or from AMI's website.
If DMIEdit shows incorrect or corrupted values, make sure you have not modified the BIOS ROM file with any other tool. You can restore the original BIOS ROM file by using the AFU utility or by using the BIOS recovery feature of your system.
If DMIEdit causes your system to crash or fail to boot, make sure you have backed up your BIOS settings and data before using DMIEdit. You can restore your BIOS settings and data by using the CMOS jumper or battery on your motherboard or by using the BIOS setup.
