Woops my bad! seems you're right

Wait... where did you find it? I think I am blind LOL. And half the time when I run the summary it freezes my entire computer...... and if I run the sensors only, it freezes my entire computer while loading. Always some issue with this mobo and drivers.. 😞

Run the program and uncheck both "Sensors-only" and "Summary-only" and hit [Run] 🙂

BTW, the title of this post is wrong. There is no BIOS update, but ME module within it.
Some interesting stuff.
