Odds are, at this point anyway, you'll need a pre-flashed BIOS chip to install. ASRock sells them: http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA And although you're in Spain, BIOS Depot on eBay is a reputable Seller I've used numerous times. If they don't have a listing for your motherboard use the "Contact Seller" link and they'll return your email promptly with a link to a Buy it Now page they'll create especially for you. http://www.ebay.com/usr/biosdepot" rel="nofollow - http://www.ebay.com/usr/biosdepot |

You'd be messing with fire to try that. Meh, you performed a bad flash. Best just to eat that bullet and buy one. |

Unplug the computer from the wall, remove the CMOS battery. jumper the CLRCMOS to the clear pos, press and hold the cases Power button for 10 seconds, insert the chip. It would be best upon first boot to go into the BIOS and Reset to UEFI Defaults once, first. |

Hint, NEVER flash a BIOS from within or while running Windows. With ASRock MB's always use the safest and nearly disaster-proof Instant Flash means and file. |

I've just updated BIOS to ver.2.90 on the exact same MB as above (88x), by use of the internet flash update feature. Restart as requested -DEAD. Cleared CMOS -DEAD. Removed bat -still DEAD. Are we dealing with a bad bios-update file or maybe some "chassis intrusion" safety issues ?? |

Internet Flash??? Instant Flash only here if you decide to try again. |

| So the option to use the internet-update from within UEFI is not safe ? |

No, not particularly. Though I can't say with 100% surety just how or even some Users posts here, Users have reported incorrect BIOS file downloads when using Internet Flash. AGAIN, I wasn't there when it happened, didn't see the results either. So I can and am only passing along what has been posted here and other forums concerning ASRock and all the other manufacturers implementation of their own "Internet Flash" going awry. Instant Flash for the win. I'm done discussing it here too. It's like you're fighting against me suggesting/recommending sing Instant Flash. You asked, I answered. The end. And I not being a hardass over this either. You asked, I answered, and yet over and over now you still ask of other alternative flashing methods. |

OK, gotta ask, has anyone had success with this BIOD version at all? Instant OR Internet? Inquiring minds want to know... ------------- GrumpyAeroGuy |

Grumpy, it appears they've pulled 2.90 from their downlooad servers. ??? Which would mean there were issues discovered. I'd say you're good up to 2.60. I've never been one to ride the cutting edge concerning BIOS updates, instead choosing to lag behind one or two revisions. And then only if I need to update to address and issue that it might cure. 2.70's ""Modify Boot option function." isn't much unless you're somehow affected by what it addresses. |

I'm at the latest prior to this "temperamental one" they just pulled... wasn't in any rush to do it... just curious. I have no issues that would lead me to consider/rush updating my BIOS... EDIT: I am on 2.6.

Both my son and I have the same MB (FM2A88X Extreme4+) Due to extensive upgrade of my sons PC, we decided to upgrade BIOS to the latest (jump from vers. 1.6 to vers. 2.9)
I've contacted AsRock techsupport and now wait for positive reply |
