i checked my bios as my laptop now takes 30 seconds to boot the bios screen and it looks screwed up. i have an acer aspire 5600 but the bios indicated travelmate under product id. The serial number and the asset tag number are now not there and in their place is a weird character repeated. Its a phoenix bios. also there is now a uuid as FEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFEFE if that mean anything. i have wiplash and a new bios file and could flash the bios but want a second opinion. also the laptop keyboard became funny since then, the keys sometimes dont register and the touchpad mouse is jerky and not right. thanks in advance

Before messing with BIOS, try resetting CMOS first.

It does sound like a bad BIOS, I would flash it, the computer is not working right, not much to loose trying.

Try to download BIOS driver from Acer site, then do winflash and restart.
