Asus b150 pro gaming aura - no boot

ken09_uematsu · Nov 7, 2017

Hi,
I recently purchased my new motherboard and upgraded the bios using a 6th gen intel processor so it can detect my new 7th gen processor.

The BIOS update went fine, I installed the 7th gen and it booted up fine.

I enabled intel speedstep, virtualization, and surge protection in the bios settings. Saved the settings and rebooted.

It didn't boot up.

I used a screwdriver to short the "clear rtc ram" to reset bios settings as it is stated in the manual.

And it booted up until BIOS setup. When I load default settings and choose save and reboot, it's not booting up again.

I'm totally out of ideas right now, please help...

Thanks.

download the newest bios run it twice from inside the bios. make sure both main and backup bios are updated. in the bios make sure if your using a gpu it not set to auto for primany display but peg/pci if it set to auto the onboard ipgpu may be the first video output not the gpu.

It says unable to read bios file. When I try to choose update bios over internet, it says my BIOS is already updated

download the newest bios file to a usb stick.use the updater in the bios.

Yes, that was the version I downloaded and installed. I even downgraded to version 3016 but still same issue

I've seen some Asus BIOSes you actually have to rename the file you download to a certain format/formula and then use that renamed file.

You can refer to the Asus website or the manual and see if that applies here too or not.

ken09_uematsu · Nov 7, 2017

I've checked the manual and the FAQs with all the documentations in the Asus website for this mobo.. sadly no solution for my situation unless BIOS update. But I already did that.

One thing I can think of now is replace the CMOS battery and see if that helps.

ken09_uematsu · Nov 8, 2017

It was not the CMOS battery as it retained BIOS data like date and time from when I installed the BIOS update.

Anyway, thanks for the effort guys. But I'm afraid, I'll just sell this mobo and buy an Asus Prime Z270-A

as it under warrnaty call and speak with asus eng support.

Satan-IR · Nov 8, 2017

Yes I agree, you can take it up with Asus people.

Mind you retaining the BIOS data and the RTC related values like time and date does not necessarily vouch for the battery. Sometimes it's as simple and changing that battery.

Satan-IR :

You're talking about flashback BIOS. Which some mobos support. You would use this if the BIOS didnt support the CPU

And if it didnt turn on. You have to download the update then rename it to whatever to flash it

Paul NZ :

Yes I was following the BIOS update and somehow missed the post where Ken said about downgrading back to older version. Thanks Paul.
