Sorry all i still really didnt get a firm response on this thread :) - Ok if i have asus graphics cards and asus has bios updates for them but the UEFI download from asus says cant do multiple cards on the board - so do i have to remove 1 do update switch the cards and do the other one then put both back into crossfire ?

Yes. Each card must be done separately.

Unless you are booting Windows 8 in Secure Mode you don't need the UEFI BIOS anyway. You can tell in Disk Management as the C-drive should be configured as GPT. If it's not, you aren't in Secure Mode.

I doubt you're in Secure Mode because I believe the graphics cards had to be UEFI compatible PRIOR to installing Windows. There's also a couple BIOS settings that if not correct cause Windows to install in Legacy (non-secure/UEFI mode).

*My computer started freezing during boot after I flashed the BIOS. It may be a coincidence. I reinstalled Windows 8 and it's fine now.

So again, unless you are planning to reinstall Windows 8 in UEFI mode I don't recommend flashing the BIOS.
