Hi,

I'm also getting nervous: lots of BIOS updates have disappeared:

Yes, it appears that suddenly a lot of the BIOS updates for Meltdown/Spectre are no longer available. These were all available last week but are all unavailable now:

Optiplex 9010, 9020, 7040, Precision 5510 and 5520.

I have a 7050 with 1.7.7 and it is acting strangely (lockups, etc).  The dell support page now only has 1.7.6.  I assume we cant re-install the older BIOS?  Dell is not offering any support on this!

I received a new 7050 at work that spent most of its time with the power light blinking white/amber and would not post. After resetting CMOS and removing / reinstalling RAM I was able to get it to boot. I successfully downgraded to BIOS 1.7.6 without issue and it has been solid since ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
