Hi guys n gals
My first post here so go easy on me please
I usually find my own way out of any hardware problems but this time im stumped.
Basically ive got a H110M-A with 4GB RAM installed (Corsair 4GB DDR4 1.2V 2133 MHZ 288PIN) and i decided to upgrade so went and bought a 16GB DDR4 stick (CRUCIAL 16GB DDR4 1.2V 2133MHZ 288PIN).
However when i inserted it my PC will only show that i only have the original 4GB in and if i remove it leaving only the new 16GB then my PC wont boot as screen stays blank.
So after some Google searching i found that its most likely that my BIOS needs updating . So i took a look on the ASUS website and saw that the BIOS they had up was very much indeed a newer version so i downloaded it. Now heres where the problems begin.
This is what the BIOs download gives me
Heres what happens when i try to run the setup
Then after that it says PEUPDATER.EXE RUN FAILED
So i tried various fixes i found online and nothing is working.
Next up ive tried using the EZ flash utility in the motherboard BIOS.
However when i click on "update using internet" it gives me three choices like DHCP and Fixed IP but they all come up with error "network not found cannot connect to server" and in my BIOS it says "Internet offline" even though the ethernet is connected and my internet works perfectly fine in windows.
The only other thing i thought to do was try and update BIOS from USB but i cant find the file for my motherboard anywhere. The ASUS website only gives me the folder that i posted above and theres no CAP file in there for me to copy over. From what i gather you need a CAP file on the USB to update a BIOS?
My current BIOS is from back in 2016 and the ASUS website has one for 2017 for my MB but theres no option to download to USB only a setup exe. This is very annoying as im hoping it will fix my RAM problems.
Heres my PC info
Any help / advice will be appreciated!
Sorry if i left out anything important , this is my first post so i may have overlooked something so please dont hesitate to ask for any extra information!
Thanks all!
