so ive tried so many different ways to update my bios. I have an intel core 2 quad q8200 and it wont let me overclock it probly because I havent updated my bios, it says unknown cpu detected at post. but heres the thing, every time I use asus ez flash 2 with my fat32 formatted flash drive and the correct bios file for my exact mobo from asus's website it says "rom id in the file is incompatible with existing bios". ive tried every bios file for my mobo and they all say the same thing. now if I take my current bios and put it into a rom file and install that, it works just fine. so if there is something im missing please let me know. here are my exact bios specs. model: P5K-VM(P3-P5G33) version: 0301 chipset: Bearlake bios type: AMI bios size: 1024k

is this where you got you bios from?

V0409 is the latest for your system.

Steps: You need AFUDOS version 2.07 for bypassing the ROMID!
- Create your bootable DOS disc and put AFUDOS 2.07 and your BIOS file on it. If it doesn't fit, put the AFUDOS and the BIOS somewhere you can reach from DOS (I used my cardreader). Keep in mind, DOS and NTFS partitions aren't exactly friends. Also, it seems AFUDOS has a problem with NTFSDOS.
- Rename the AFUxxx.exe to AFUDOS.EXE for ease of use.
- Reboot from your floppy.
- Go to the directory AFUDOS and the BIOS file are located in.
- Make double sure you still have your original ROM somewhere!
- Type "AFUDOS /i<ROMNAME.BIN> /n" where <ROMNAME.BIN> is your BIOS file's filename.
No space between /i and the filename and /n is the switch to ignore ROMID.
