Thanks Wolfhunter, yes the 1604 is the latest version, I will try backing up my old version first & see how that goes,

the ASUS download supplies a flashing utility AFUDOS.EXE only, will download and see if that is easier, or if it comes with any readme's, nothing with the bios version, finding documents on any of this stuff is rare!!

Well here goes, if you don't hear from me for awhile you know the flashing failed!!


then I will either have to find out more on bios recovery or buy a new motherboard!!

Bye!!
