Hello,
I need your help. I started this thread earlier and deleted it to try updating my BIOS again on my own. Looks like I don't understand Flashing BIOS or the instructions provided by the forum. I followed the instructions to their very letter and the update still failed at 24% of the update. I formatted the USB drive to FAT 32 and download the correct BIOS for my MB. I ran memtest (Passed, 0 errors) and the USB Update Tool as the forum suggested. My USB shows the new BIOS files necessary for this update. Luckly, I know not to clear CMOS and recovered safely. Everything is back to the original BIOS settings. I read through several pages of the forum and found many new unresolved BIOS problems from pages 1 to 180+. I'm getting a sick feeling there is a problem with the BIOS updating procedures? I really don't know to tell the truth. I could use some help. Thanks
Note: Live Update 4 works fine for my system. But, it doesn't recognize and install the v1.2 BIOS, only the v1.1. N-Flash is not recommended to use by the forum mod's.
System BIOS set to default (No OCing):
MSI NF980-G65 SLI, BIOS v1.1
Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 1333
AMD Phenom II X2 550BE
