00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.480
all right so this will be the assus version of my BIOS upgrading guide so

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

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.279
Next Step which is go to Services go to support so more accurately go to the

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:19.160
ASUS support website I'm going to search

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:22.160
by product name in this case I have a p67

00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:30.400
deluxe going to go ahead and search for

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.960
that yeah it helps if you spell deluxe without an r at the end

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:38.640
Deluxe it's more deluxe than the other Deluxe there we go so

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

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

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:57.160
from April 1st hopefully it's not a joke

00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:02.239
but apparently it improves system compatibility Neato all right so we're

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

00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:14.439
ahead and put my USB thumb drive into the back of the

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:17.560
computer in a USB

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.759
slot okay got that on there apparently I

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:26.680
accidentally hit my auto brightness button okay so now I just copy this into

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.680
the root of my Patriot

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.200
Drive four Megs this board uses an EFI

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:38.520
BIOS which means that it uses larger BIOS files cuz it has a graphical

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:40.640
interface and whatnot go ahead restart

00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:46.880
the board so when I'm restarting I'm going

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:49.040
to press delete to get into the BIOS and

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:55.560
then actually this should go pretty quick so you guys can just stay with me

00:01:53.159 --> 00:02:01.159
here that's me with my headphones holding my camera

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:04.799
hello please put something on the screen now

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:08.599
Mr computer oh and I missed it okay I'll be

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

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.959
again just a moment there we go here I

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

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

00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:31.319
going to go into the easy Flash 2 utility I'm going to see some graphical

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:37.120
artifacts on the screen here we are I'm going to find the

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:44.800
BIOS that I just downloaded at some point there it

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.800
is I'm going to re read this

00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:53.680
file now my usual tips uh first of all

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.519
before upgrading your BIOS you should always make sure that you're running at

00:02:55.239 --> 00:03:03.040
stock speeds on your motherboard so that you don't run into any issues with an

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:04.760
overclocking setting causing instability

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:10.640
which could cause a crash or Corruption of the data while you are flashing the

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:13.360
BIOS I also recommend that you um use a

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:16.680
UPS or some other device that will ensure that your system does not

00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:21.680
accidentally power down while you're flashing the BIOS the reason for that is

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:26.840
if that happens it could also corrupt the data which could cause your board to

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.959
become bricked which is

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.799
bad still flashing uh once the bio flash

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:35.959
is complete it will likely reset all of your settings if you had any change so

00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:41.560
you may need to reset your boot order or change any

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:46.560
um settings like whether you want to see your BIOS splash screen things like that

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

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:54.439
we get back into Windows how to confirm that the BIOS flash is complete so here

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

00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:05.360
indeed running the latest BIOS on this board at this time actually I'm just

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:13.360
going to double check that really quick 1503 yep that's the right one so

00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:16.199
while you may have noticed that the um

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:20.120
change log for this BIOS was pretty vag uh that's pretty normal so most

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

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

00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:31.520
experiencing a problem with your system but don't worry about whether the

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:37.520
problem with your system is actually on the change log because they're usually

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:39.759
incomplete and vague so often times they

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:42.759
improve things that are not listed on the change log so now we're running the

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.600
