Thread: BIOS update

Threaded View

    Yes. Modern mobos oftem come with a windows util to enable you to update the BIOS but I don't trust them much and try not to use them (you don't know what else in windows might cause your flash to fail half way through).

    If you use the DOS bootdisk that I linked to you will still need the BIOS flash utility for DOS which is also availible at asus.com - in fact I think I saw it mentioned on the page with your BIOS d/l.

    The linked to DOS disk is slimmed down as much as possible - it dosn't load anything other than what you need to run your flashing util. That's why I like it - when I flash a BIOS I want as few drivers/programs/services loaded as possible to reduce the risk of the machine crashing halfway through the flash (and getting another 'brick').
