The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to update the BIOS without having to
go through the long process of booting from a floppy disk and using a
DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is
accessible by pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST).
You can use the motherboard support CD to recover the original BIOS file.
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:
1.
Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS
file for the motherboard and rename the same to K 8 S - M V - P . R O M
2.
Save the BIOS file to a CD, then restart the system.
3.
Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
EZFlash starting BIOS update
Checking for floppy...
Floppy not found!
Checking for CD-ROM...
4.
Insert the CD that contains the BIOS file to the optical drive. When the
correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process
and automatically reboots the system when done.
