Prebuilt computer BIOS update

[GregJA]

Hey,
So I have the P8H77M-PRO MOBO and it came in a prebuilt ASUS PC, I was wondering I go to their website and downloaded the newest BIOS 1401, but when I go to EZ flash it says security verification failed. I cannot get it to work.

now if I go to the asus website and click on my prebuilt pc the newest bios is 708, I do the EZ flash and it works perfectly. how can I fix it so that I can download the BIOS 1401?

thanks!

What model is the prebuilt PC? Since BIOS 708 doesn't exist for the P8H77M-PRO, you should presume the motherboards are slightly different. What problem would a BIOS newer than the official one for your PC resolve?

It is the cm6870- aasus downloads-desktop-consumer-cm6870
I've added like a new psu,added the nvidia Titan and an SSD so it's not exactly the same but I believe more system stability and my bios doesn't have the ai tweaker option like other people with the same board.

The CM6870 doesn't use the retail boxed motherboard BIOS. The Asus Essentio CM6870 desktops use their own unique BIOS version.
