I forgot to keep a backup file of my old GPU BIOS. I urgently need the old BIOS file. It would be great if someone could provide me that, my system is unstable and now my system not completely detecting my graphics card configuration. I am waiting for some help

After some googling i found my device ID here, could someone help me please, my graphics card temperature is also high i think.

It's SAPPHIRE HD 4650 1GB DDR2 AGP card only. But I've seen many other members also got my same card for example my ID matches with this

So if anyone else has got this card please share the BIOS file with me, I will be really thankful to you, My old system works because of this card. Unfortunately there are no BIOS backups in my hand :confused:. I hope some one will help me here.
