Bios update problem

[Vionic_DK]

Hi all..

Anyone know what I can try to get my system to boot ? I have:
Maximus III Extreme (Rev 1)
Intel I7 860 2.8Ghz
12mb ram (2x2 and 2x4 kingston)
2x 30Gb SSDnow kingston (in raid)
1,5Tb HDD
Geforce GTX470

I updated my bios from 0705 to 1302 and after the raid controler detects the drives the system halts on "Initial ROM"
I can't get in to the bios by pressing del, It just go directly to raid and then hangs..

Tryed the 1204 but CPU-z then reports wrong CPU speeds 😞

Anyone has an idea what is wrong and what can fix it ?

How did you flash the bios in the first place?

Use the fat formatted USB stick and EZflash2 utility in bios tools. That should do the trick.

Just remember to set RAID mode as SATA defaults please.

Used the ROG usb connection and my notebook.. The problem is not the flashing it self but the boot after.. think i'm gonna try 1101 and se what that does..

OK mate it does sound like a corrupted flash to me. So a re-flash should sort it out for you.

Just Flashed with 1101 and it starts without any problems. The only thing is that CPU-Z is reporting the wrong cpu speed 😞
About the Reflash .. I've done that 2-3 times wit 1302 and still same result that it hangs after shoving RAID controler.

Which CPUz are you using and what is the speed that is being reported? Post an screen shot please.

Downloaded it from asus but it's version 1.58
Sorry but I can't get it to upload a screenshot og cpu-z but I'm at 144Mhz and in the bios thats 3GHz but cpu-z is reporting 3,6GHz...

Please use the latest version. 1.67

And use print screen and paint on your system then the picture function here on ROG, the icon with the picture of a tree. Upload from your desktop.
