who can help me out step by step how do i upgrade bios... btw i have the 1014 bios file ready to download on asustek website but i need a step by step help to upgrade from my old bios so i can run my cedar mill cpu. thanks :)
 
well i was there apok on that same site but after reading it i got way confused... my mobo lets just say is the P5GD1
 
but you'll need to know the particular version. They'll each have a different BIOS. And flashing it with the wrong BIOS could end-up bricking the board.

Open the case and see which one it looks like.
 
this is my mobo http://www.evertek.com/imageshare/P/300x300/P5GD1-FM2-BULK-unit.jpg

this is p5gd1

they look different but ive been using the drivers based on this mobo asustek does not have p5gd1 fms version downloads which is wierd and stupid...

this is the p5gd1 pro http://www.frontierpc.com/wimages/products/b/950013934.jpg
Drivers from one board can sometimes be used on another, if it uses the same chipset.
But it really needs to have the exact BIOS.
 
download the free version of everest home edition from download.com and then it can there tell you what your bios is what CPU your running what motherboard exactly you have and what temps your computer is running at if your parts have sensors. :)

i hope i've made finding out what your motherboard specs were easier
 
well ok ive called asus, dreaded news there are no drivers or bios for p5dg1 fm/s... im screwed big time wasted 75 for that stupid cedar mill im such a fool....**** it
