| 762146 | 2009-04-04 02:30:00 | www.computerlounge.co.nz Hey i wanted to update my p5q-E bios so I asked here www.computerlounge.co.nz and some one send to download this and that will get you the latest bios update. How ever I go to advanced then chipset and all it says is northbridge chipset, where the latest bios update should give me the settings and options to over clock the ram cpu and so on. Whats happened? |

| 762147 | 2009-04-04 03:01:00 | Too incoherent for me to make sense of, but you get BIOS updates from ASUS website, not the retailer. And you can overclock anyway, BIOS updates are just fixes, or CPU updates. |

| 762148 | 2009-04-04 04:08:00 | Yea he was just trying to help me and gave me the link from the ASUS website that was for the latest P5Q-E bios update. Before I couldnt find any options to overclock the ram so I asked at computerlounge forums and he said to download this bios update (he provided me with the download link.) Though when i go into the bios once i installed it via usb stick I cannot see any changes. I thought you where suppose to find the overclocking settings under advanced/chipset yet all I see is north bridge configuration. Could you please send me the link to make sure ive installed the correct latest bios update? I want to know if I did use the correct one. And if I did why is there no options/settings for overclocking.(like Ive even seen videos on youtube and my bios doesnt have anything like the ammount of settings and options u can play with as well it doesnt have the overclocking settings.) Its a ASUS P5Q-E motherboard. 775 Vista home premium 64bit. (please send me the link to download the latest bios version. Thanks. |

| 762149 | 2009-04-04 04:14:00 | When the PC rebooted after I installed the latest bios update it asked press F1 for like enter the setup and F2 for like use default settings or something. What one was I suppose to hit/use. I pressed F1 | Blackandblue (14231) | ||
| 762150 | 2009-04-04 04:43:00 | If you didnt flash the right BIOS, it wouldnt have flashed it. And if you flashed the wrong one, your system would be dead You go into the BIOS, set it to its defaults then re-configure it / save the settings again |

| 762151 | 2009-04-04 04:45:00 | Asus usually wont let you send a direct link - but go HERE (support.asus.com) - on the Right is 3 drop down boxes . MotherBoard Socket 775 P5Q-E ( make sure you select the right one) Hit search - Select your OS from the box that opens. There will be a list of drivers, BIOS etc. The latest BIOS will be the top one. (version 2001) |

| 762152 | 2009-04-04 05:59:00 | OK the one bloom told me to install was Version 1703(2008/12/16) latest is Version 2001(2009/03/30) Now does it matter if I installed Version 2001 over 1703. Do I need to like remove it or is it ok to update it with a later version? And my other question is im not sure what option to press when the computer first reboots after the bios update was installed. IIRC options were along the lines F1 continue into setup F2 use default settings. I cant remember the actaul two lines but setup was in for F1 and default settings was F2 which one do I press? Thanks very much. |

| 762153 | 2009-04-04 06:03:00 | You cant remove previous bios updates, update it with the new update After its been updated, press F1, reset the settings to the default settings, reconfigure the settings, then save the settings again. |

Thanks speedy Gonzales. Dont you mean press F2 though? as to post above I wrote what was displayed on screen. F1 continue into setup F2 use default settings. |

| 762155 | 2009-04-04 06:29:00 | Well you can press F2, if you dont want to configure anything. Some options may not be enabled in the default settings. So, wont work, if you press F2 So, it may pay for you to go through the BIOS anyway (if you know what youre doing / looking for). In case you need to enable / change something |
