M4A89GTD PRO won't update BIOS.

thedude300 · Jun 2, 2013

I'd like to update my bios to version 3029. I use EZ FLASH 2 and use a USB stick for the file. Every time I go to update it I select the file and it says it is incompatible file yet downloaded from ASUS site..

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this or maybe even update it via another way? And the reason I'm updating is because I see a lot of people showing a worthy improvement in games by updating to 3029.

Any help is appreciated.

You need to extract the download with 7-zip. Move the CAP file to the stick & that should go.

I have already extracted it using Winrar. The file name is now called M4A89GTD-PRO-ASUS-3029. I put it on a FAT32 Usb stick and used ez flash as said and attempted and said incompatible. I know I have a older version as far as I know I have never updated and the BIOS version is from 2011 and this version is from 2012 that I'm attempting to use.

WinRAR is a excellent tool. the asus download was corrupt, delete & trash the files & download the BIOS again. I had to do that once (i'm on wireless) and the 2nd time worked. You can't force the flash if EZ flags it (error msg).

That worked. Now as I figured I'd run into at least one problem from doing that. I now cannot overclock my 1090t. I had it to 3.9ghz and I set all my bios to default and now when I re attempt over clock it gets to windows screen and is about to bring me to desktop because I dont have a password and then I get instant blue screen and crash within seconds. any ideas?

Clear CMOS jumper, You did shut off completely after update sometimes my reboot does not always work 1st time after flash.

I was able to over clock after reseting cmos. Now when it logs into windows I lose most of my system tray Icons and I also have a lot of mouse and keyboard lag as well as starting programs. When I set back to defaults it works as normal minus my over clocks.

You should put the ROM file in your (C: ). boot up with EZFlash and find the file and it should update. this is the way i did it.
