1 00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,480 all right so this will be the assus version of my BIOS upgrading guide so 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,559 I'm just going to show you the first step which is go to the ASUS website The 3 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,279 Next Step which is go to Services go to support so more accurately go to the 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,160 ASUS support website I'm going to search 5 00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:22,160 by product name in this case I have a p67 6 00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:30,400 deluxe going to go ahead and search for 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,960 that yeah it helps if you spell deluxe without an r at the end 8 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,640 Deluxe it's more deluxe than the other Deluxe there we go so 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:47,480 downloads well the OS that I have is Windows 7 64-bit which won't be relevant 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:54,199 at all but that's okay BIOS downloads here we go so there's the BIOS update 11 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,160 from April 1st hopefully it's not a joke 12 00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:02,239 but apparently it improves system compatibility Neato all right so we're 13 00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:08,280 going to go ahead and open that up all right so it's just a ROM file so I go 14 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:14,439 ahead and put my USB thumb drive into the back of the 15 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:17,560 computer in a USB 16 00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:18,759 slot okay got that on there apparently I 17 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:26,680 accidentally hit my auto brightness button okay so now I just copy this into 18 00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,680 the root of my Patriot 19 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:33,200 Drive four Megs this board uses an EFI 20 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:38,520 BIOS which means that it uses larger BIOS files cuz it has a graphical 21 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,640 interface and whatnot go ahead restart 22 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:46,880 the board so when I'm restarting I'm going 23 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:49,040 to press delete to get into the BIOS and 24 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:55,560 then actually this should go pretty quick so you guys can just stay with me 25 00:01:53,159 --> 00:02:01,159 here that's me with my headphones holding my camera 26 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,799 hello please put something on the screen now 27 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,599 Mr computer oh and I missed it okay I'll be 28 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:14,239 back in a sec I'm going to press delete a little earlier so that I don't miss it 29 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,959 again just a moment there we go here I 30 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:22,519 am in the UI BIOS I'm going to go ahead and go into advanced mode because 31 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:27,040 apparently it is Advanced to upgrade your BIOS I'm going to go into tools I'm 32 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:31,319 going to go into the easy Flash 2 utility I'm going to see some graphical 33 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:37,120 artifacts on the screen here we are I'm going to find the 34 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:44,800 BIOS that I just downloaded at some point there it 35 00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:44,800 is I'm going to re read this 36 00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:53,680 file now my usual tips uh first of all 37 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,519 before upgrading your BIOS you should always make sure that you're running at 38 00:02:55,239 --> 00:03:03,040 stock speeds on your motherboard so that you don't run into any issues with an 39 00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:04,760 overclocking setting causing instability 40 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:10,640 which could cause a crash or Corruption of the data while you are flashing the 41 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:13,360 BIOS I also recommend that you um use a 42 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:16,680 UPS or some other device that will ensure that your system does not 43 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:21,680 accidentally power down while you're flashing the BIOS the reason for that is 44 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,840 if that happens it could also corrupt the data which could cause your board to 45 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,959 become bricked which is 46 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,799 bad still flashing uh once the bio flash 47 00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:35,959 is complete it will likely reset all of your settings if you had any change so 48 00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:41,560 you may need to reset your boot order or change any 49 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:46,560 um settings like whether you want to see your BIOS splash screen things like that 50 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,640 and that took a little while now it's finally done so I'll show you guys once 51 00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:54,439 we get back into Windows how to confirm that the BIOS flash is complete so here 52 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,239 you go guys we'll just check under main board and CPU Z to see that yes we are 53 00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:05,360 indeed running the latest BIOS on this board at this time actually I'm just 54 00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:13,360 going to double check that really quick 1503 yep that's the right one so 55 00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:16,199 while you may have noticed that the um 56 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,120 change log for this BIOS was pretty vag uh that's pretty normal so most 57 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,639 manufacturers don't recommend that you upgrade your BIOS unless you're experiencing some kind of problem with 58 00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:28,759 your system but my comment to you would be that yes you should upgrade if you're 59 00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:31,520 experiencing a problem with your system but don't worry about whether the 60 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,520 problem with your system is actually on the change log because they're usually 61 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:39,759 incomplete and vague so often times they 62 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,759 improve things that are not listed on the change log so now we're running the 63 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,600 latest spouse on this board thank you for checking out this episode of lus 64
