Agree with jaclaz, not sure what you want to acheive, but you can try SIW software for bit more info ,
if you want walk thru a POST codes you need Diagnostic POST card, also contact Ultra x and have a look can they help you with anything

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ROOTKIT DETECTION TECHNIQUES the researcher comments
2.6 Hardware-Based
The fourth and final type of rootkit operates independently of the OS, but is
extremely hardware dependent. These rootkits typically use hardware
virtualization and chipset exploits to operate in the BIOS or PCI expansion
cards [41]. At this time the hardware-specific rootkits are not very prevalent
in the wild, and are more “proof of concept” techniques. Techniques to
detect these types of rootkits are likewise very sparse [41].

However, NIST SP 800-147 April 2011 in their publication BIOS Protection Guidelines under Executive Summary states
Unauthorized modification of BIOS firmware by malicious software constitutes a significant threat because of the BIOS’s unique and privileged position within the PC architecture. A malicious BIOS modification could be part of a sophisticated, targeted attack on an organization—either a permanent denial of service (if the BIOS is corrupted) or a persistent malware presence (if the BIOS is implanted with malware). The move from conventional BIOS implementations to implementations based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) may make it easier for malware to target the BIOS in a widespread fashion, as these BIOS implementations are based on a common specification.
and in the 'Presentation to Linux Users of Victoria on LUV's Policy on UEFI' (2011) it highlights similar concerns.
There is a lot more research besides that mentioned above.
Bump.
Anyone???

It dumps the BIOS from a bunch of systems, but requires Windows 7 32/64 bit.
