A88X- Pro MOBO
kaveri APU
Finally installed and getting to the Post mode, followed by the BIOS. The Asus tech told me that I should update the Bios. The first one told me about the flash button mode..First I had to D/L a file, rename it and to omit the cap extension. Then insert it in a particular usb port only. Once I did that, to press the Flash button briefly, 3 seconds and remove my hand. It did flicker briefly and then went to a solid light and stayed that way. he said it did not work. In the meantime I have been setting up my desktop for to install my OS, via USB boot. I set it up in the bios and when I exited, I was asked if I wanted accept the change. I said yes and a message appears that it had not been saved. this has been going on all day. Another tech said I should reinstall that file and this time include the extension...I did, that did not work. Now, I can't even get it to post, though I am still able to get into the Bios...but it would not save any boot that i offer. Can i replace this Bios without returning the MOBO,? Is there a way to fix this? I am too nervous to ask those tech's because they disagree with each other and I have no confidence in them.
