If you flash the BIOS (if you do it in the BIOS). Which is quicker than making a USB flash drive bootable You have got me confused. You can flash a BIOS in Windows but not recommended. Normally create a bootable floppy but if you want to flash a BIOS from a USB stick you need the stick to be bootable and have the flashing program like awdflash.exe plus the new BIOS file on there as well. |

| 1140410 | 2010-09-29 03:49:00 | With that mobo, (well more recent ASUS mobos), you can flash from within the BIOS itself (Its called EZ flash 2). You dont need a bootable floppy / flash drive, (or the util), and you dont have to flash it in windows. You can use ASUSupdate (get the update first unzip it, then load it). Most people make the mistake of using the program to download the update then flash it. This is what can cause it to freeze and kill a BIOS. (If it doesnt support Crashfree BIOS, or similar then youre in trouble). All you need is a flash drive with the updated BIOS on it (unzipped of course) |

| 1140411 | 2010-09-29 04:15:00 | :thumbs: FYI I managed to kill an Asus mobo with their winflash util, the EZ flash tool is great though, never had any problems with it. You may also want to try running memtest86+ (up to version 4) download the ISO, burn it and boot off it, run at least one pass to see if you have faulty ram. |

| 1140413 | 2010-09-29 23:06:00 | better late than never! www.giveawayoftheday.com I hope it works for you. I downloaded same and installed. Did a backup of C and D which reside on one hard drive. I created the rescue CD. The backing up closed unexpectedly and no solution found in Win 7 64 bit Pro. This after time left counted down to zero seconds left on an External USB drive. I tried booting the CD I made and it moaned about my BIOS for some reason and refused to boot. So far I'm not really impressed and will carry on using my usual way of doing backups. |

| 1140414 | 2010-09-30 00:47:00 | Further to the above. I have tried again booting the recue cd in other modes and it still won't therefore the CD has been consigned to file 13 along with the Paragon software. Try it if you want as your mileage may vary. |
