Bios UpdateS
I just checked for my ASUS P5Q WS that I have version 1307 and there are 2-3 newer versions of it from ASUS. Any idea if I have to install all of them or just the latest one?

Re: Bios UpdateS
if im correct from my last asus board i used i just Flashed the latest bios update with out any problem.Each version already contains the fixes from the previous release.
EDIT: My board was at least 3 bios versions lower from new,than what asus were hosting. Last edited by MIG-31; Sep 29, 2009 at 09:01 PM. |

Re: Bios UpdateS
I think that each BIOS update contains the complete BIOS "image" so no need to flash more than once. Also, I have an ASUS board too and recently I did just that and all went well.

Re: Bios UpdateS
Has youre board got an Bios update within your bios.. if so you should be able to flash it from a Data stick.
EDIT. Yes it does.. P5Q WS EZ-Flash 2 Simply update BIOS from a USB flash disk before entering the OS EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly BIOS update utility. Simply launch this tool and update BIOS from a USB flash disk before entering the OS. You can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or using an OS-based flash utility. |

Re: Bios UpdateS
The EZ flash 2 can read the BIOS file from the HDD, no need to copy it to a USB flash drive.

Re: Bios UpdateS
Hmm, I might need to buy a flash disk then.
Eh, are you sure Roy?

Re: Bios UpdateS
Yes, I'm sure. But it was not possible in the first BIOS version my board came with. The flash-from-hdd feature was added later.
You can launch the EZ Flash from BIOS and see if your HDDs are listed there. |

Re: Bios UpdateS
And if that doesn't work with your current BIOS version you can use the Asus Update utility and flash in Windows...

Re: Bios UpdateS
The Asus update utility for windows doesn't work for this board, according to asus.
I tried to access the ezflash thingy but the post is too fast and I can't see the shortcut. Any idea what it is?

Re: Bios UpdateS
Hit Alt+F2 during POST, or enter BIOS setup and run it from the Tools menu.
edit: About the Update utility not working on P5Q WS, I checked the manual for the board and it is listed there as a BIOS update option, as well as it is included on the P5Q WS downloads page... Last edited by RoyBatty; Sep 29, 2009 at 11:15 PM. |

Re: Bios UpdateS
in the downloads page it doesn't have the win utility.
Anyway, I will try it when I do the next reboot.

Re: Bios UpdateS
Actually, I did a BIOS update on my ASUS M3A78-CM from an NTFS partition.

Re: Bios UpdateS
I tried it, it loaded a screen showing my current bios version and on the right side it said UNKNOWN. I couldn't select a path, there was no way to type or graphical interface/aka mouse action. I reset the system.
Next time I will copy the file to one of the external (NTFS) drives and see if it does something differently.

Re: Bios UpdateS
Im not sure if this is any help... But im asking out of curiosity..
Are you trying to find via the EZ interface the bios update file directly from the HDD without placing it into a new folder.. Mine would only be found from a USB drive when i placed the Bios update within a New Folder. Last edited by MIG-31; Sep 30, 2009 at 04:47 PM. Reason: I missed a small part of what i wanted to say. |

Re: Bios UpdateS
Yes, that's what the others said and I thought, why not try it.
I don't have a USB flash drive to use (I have one such drive but I don't plug it in for any reason other than something else). Next time I reboot I will try to remember to check it with my external hard drive.

Re: Bios UpdateS
It looked like that to me, but without any of the info there. If that means I need to update the bios to make it possible to update the bios to make it possible update the bios, I am going to have to wait a long while.
btw, about the screenshot of the utilities, which one are you talking about?

Re: Bios UpdateS
I am having a brain fart this week. How am I supposed to go to page 69 when there is no such page?

Re: Bios UpdateS
OK, just find chapter 3.1 Managing and updating your BIOS, then 3.1.1 Asus Update utility. The pages are marked differently, but it is a page 69 of the document.

Re: Bios UpdateS
Damn, Blue, you sound out of shape, I hope everything is fine.
Just type in 69 in the page number field in Adobe Reader or go to page 3-1 (the same one).
