The original 2.04 bios?

Hmmm, dya happen to have the original flashrom program for that?
I think its a bios thing...
I wanna try to set the benq to original factory settings without having to wipe the hdd.

Nope. the 2.04 BIOS is the second last update, if I'm not mistaken. You can get it from the BenQ website.

Try disabling the ATI Powerplay. Maybe the driver is throtling down the GPU... maybe.

If you only faced this problem after updating the BIOS, you should try reverting to the older version.

don't think it's a BIOS problem. I'm using the latest BIOS without any problems.
