Maybe your using a newer amidewin for Aptio5 bios. Try an older 1 for Aptio4. I would also try this from dos or uefi & not from windows...

Your bios is socketed, buy few cghips, make an vbackup and you can do everything without risk of damage. IMHO everything is stored in the flash. Be careful those spi flashes have OTP bits and you can lock it .areas of memory are then read only forever
