Need Acer V3-551 2.02 BIOS - can't revert BIOS - help!

[rowebil]

So, I am hoping to post my questions and such in the right categories hoping something will work!

I have an Acer V3-551-8469 - and I updated my BIOS just because lol. I worked at a computer repair shop, and that was a common practice. I now figured out that I shouldn't have.

So I am now on 2.11... However, a few people I know have 2.02 and they have 16GB of RAM... I cannot even put in a stick of RAM without my graphics card crashing at the Acer logo. I need the old 4GB and the new 8GB in and it would work, but still crash. I have ran tests with that setting and it was perfect. Not sure why it was crashing.

So I want 16 GB in but my computer won't even start. I try to flash using flashit, and it says the file size is wrong. The .bin is 5MB while my BIOS is 4MB. :/

I can backup my BIOS and it shows 4MB. I just can't take an older BIOS and try to flash. I even tried the FN+Esc and it worked, the flash drive was blinking and then it restart. Before, I didn't have the correct recovery BIOS name, and it would just flash forever... Now I have the correct name using Andy's tool, and it restarts and all, but doesn't revert back!

So I am in REALLY need of someone on here with a V3-551 series laptop to use the BIOS backup and send me the ROM.

Unless someone could take the BIOS and then modify it for me so then I can control the CPU and graphics memory. :/

I just want my RAM to work! Everyone else has the same RAM and it works fine!
UEFI is also turned on.

Ah - can anyone help me?

EDIT!

Actually, I cannot even backup the BIOS from the Windows 8 because UEFI is set and it is restricting the backup program from getting the BIOS.

In Windows 7, I could take the BIOS which was 4 MB.
On the Acer site, the UEFI BIOS is 5MB. When I am in legacy BIOS, it is 4MB only. I try to update UEFI in legacy BIOS and it says I can't because of the file size.

SO, I need a way, somehow that booting into legacy BIOS (to use removable media) will allow me to then revert changes to UEFI.

Right now, I am stuck and I have a feeling that upgrading the BIOS was my worse mistake.

The BIOS is only available in 2.11... The UEFI BIOS upgrades are available in 2.04 which I need, but Insyde won't let me rollback. It keeps creating and overwriting the .ini file that I have specified to allow version changes. :/

Haha I have SO much computer repair experience, but I am literally dumb when it comes to BIOS.

Hello, sorry i'm newbie here.
My acer aspire 4750G has black screen due to bios fail.
Can you give me tutorial to flash back my bios using crisis disk with pressing FN + ESC button. It seem that it's a phoenix securecore tiano bios.

Thanks....
