How do I find the latest BIOS for my MB when the manufacturers provide the wrong file?

How do I find the latest BIOS for my MB when the manufacturers provide the wrong file? I have a BioStar M7NCG 400 7.x motherboard. (The 7.x is important, as it is physically a different board than other versions.) This is a legacy motherboard, but is still supported with official drivers etc.

"You should look at the BIOS manufacturer (AMI Bios, H2Bios, American Megatrends, etc) website and check for a compatible BIOS (Check North and South bridges, processor, motherboard...)

Keep in mind that flashing BIOS is a really risky task that should be only attempted in case that something with your current one. Personal experience about BIOS flashing: I updated an ASUS K8V-MX motherboard some time ago, and the only new thing I got was support for a new CPU (Athlon 64 3800+, and whats the point from updating a 3400+ to a 3800+?). So you should really consider keeping your current BIOS."
