BIOS dump for the MSI Z170A PC MATE motherboard, board code MS-7971, intended for a Winbond W25Q128BV SPI flash chip, which holds 16 MB. The 6.07 MB RAR archive contains the image to be written with a programmer such as a CH341A when the board fails to post due to corrupted firmware. Read and save the original chip first, check that the extracted image is the full 16 MB size of the W25Q128, and verify after writing. The board's PCB revision should also be noted.
