Thanks a lot for your help Paul
But my Barebone is still covered by warranty... I will send this f...
barebone to their technical support.
But I do not find normal that we are unable to follow their bios update
process.
I used to find Asus serious in terms of quality but they are really bad in
terms of technical support...
They nerver answered to my emails. They have no phone number for the
technical support, only through email (easier not to answer).
Really bad aptitude.
Thanks anyway for your help
Regards
Mig
