so i just download and install the top one on the list ?

Hey guys, got my new system up and running, everything seems to be fine now thanks to all the advice I got from you guys. I want to update the bios from version 0809 to 2001 because I think it will improve my system stability and performance my mobo is an asus H81M-E ATX DDR3 The asus...

yeah man if you dont mind PM me the link to the FTP or email it to me how difficult is it to update the bios? is there a chance my system could get messed up in the process ?

posting this from my new gaming rig :) Just reinstalling all my old games and stuff trying to get back to where i was before all this started The only thing is my cpu fan seems to be running as full speed, should I slow it down a little or leave it run this fast ? also, my bios version is...

I tr5ied everything did it all one last time and it worked installing windows 7 home premium right now :) thanks guys its working !!!!!

ok i took the mobo completely out of the case and attached everything to it put it on a cereal box and tried one last time everything started right up, so that means it is shorting itself out in the case somehow? what do I do now ?

I tried everything, nothing worked, going to try and send everything back or RMA The only thing I can think of is the BIOS isnt updated and the mobo doesnt recognize the newer CPU I feel defeated

ive tried all of those things except putting the mobo on a cardboard box and turning it on, I will try that next

it didnt work im giving up for the night, prolly gonna have to RMA the board :sick:

do this while the psu is hooked up ?

I dont know how to do that, i would be afraid to fry the mobo

I think the power button on the case might be faulty can i switch the reset sw and the power sw cables on the mobo or do they each require different voltage? (put the power SW in the reset SW slot on the mobo ?)

take the board out of the case and remove all the components and try to boot up just the mobo with the cpu only ?

looks like a got a DOA mobo, i tried to start it without the mobo speaker and I tried to start it with the mobo speaker nothing happens except the light on the lan cable flashes you guys think the mobo is DOA ? none of the fans come on or the HDD I know the psu is good what did i do wrong ?

just tried to do the first start up and nothing happened im freakin out :eek:
