Have U guys tried to update youre BIOS using the ASUS Update program lately?I cant get the program to work on eather rig of mine.It just tells me that "there are no proper BIOS images on the server".Anybody know whats up with that?

Well,I figured out how to get around it.There's an option in "ASUS Update" that lets U "install the new BIOS form a file".So I downloaded the new BIOS to my desktop.Then chose the option to "update from a file on the desktop".And it sucked it right up.

is it a site problem?

cos I'm about to come into ownership of one, and will almost certainly want to update bios, so will I have to do that dooda that you had to HawgsHead

Beats me man.All I know is that the feature wont work on eather of my ASUS MoBo's.I'm just glad it gives to another way to install a new BIOS wityhout doing it the old timey way.

I've always had that problem with that utility. I just update from a file, and problem solved (you can also do the traditional method of updating from a boot disk). Also, make sure you have the latest version of the software, as it has been updated recently (last month or so).

Yea,ASUS updates that program all the time.Seems like every time I update a BIOS the "ASUS Update" program has to be updated too.....GEEZ....Thats alot of updating!!

I just click on the "Auto Select" button and the program chooses the website that has the least ammount of traffic.Then it picks it right up.....In theory anyway.
