After reading through your topic and noting what’s bean said, it would seem I have to update my old Asus P5QC Motherboard bios, it will flash and I understand there is an ASUS update utility that can be used within the windows environment. I will post here again to let anyone that maybe interested how I get on.
I decided to post here rather than start a new topic because the issues are the same, I hope you don’t mind.
