1701 - 0d bios boot code

[wesmo]

Hi all,

I've been happily using my Crosshair V Formula-z comfortably for some months now (since July-2013), comfortably using and updating to 1503 and 1602. Flashed to 1701 last night, got a 0d boot code.

- Nothing appeared on the screen, checked mboard LEDs, VGA LED flashing - claimed my hd6950 was faulty (been using it fine for a solid 2 years)/
- Switched to a spare hd3850, no VGA LED flashing, same symptomns - black screen, 0d boot code
- unplugged all hdd - black screen, 0d boot code
- inserted asus cd to see if the mboard will detect it - black screen, 0d boot code

What should I do? Is there any way to reflash an older bios? Or should I just RMA?

Cheers,
wesmo

i think yes, try this one:

What should I rename the Bios too? I'm attempting with CHVFZ.CAP

What should I rename the Bios too? I attempted with CHVFZ.CAP, the ROG Connect button LED flashes 3 times then turns off...

i haven't quite used it myself, so i couldn't give the exact answer.

but, judging from the renaming pattern, i'd try one of these few:
1. - CH5FZ.CAP
- put usb in the ROG connect, attempt to flashback.


2. - C5FZ.CAP
- put usb in the ROG connect, attempt to flashback.


tell me if you got any of these working. use your last recent stable bios version for that particular motherboard.

Are the current CHVz bios CAP if yes then use CAP if no then use ROM

C5FZ.CAP did the trick - cheering. Thanks for the help haihane & HiVizMan.
