Hi

I am afraid that you appear to have made a mistake on your motherboard model number as our system doesn't ssem to recognise it.

Anyway I don't think you will be able to get a EFI BIOS for your board as it is only the new boards that they are being written for.

The original number is almost correct but I think you have probably added an extra "s" into it. There is a GA-G31M-ES2L but we would then need the revision number which is marked in white on the bottom left of the motherboard.

I don't think there will be one. You will need to update your CPU, motherboard and memory to get to the sort of motherboard that you want.
