not sure how these people are getting a bios that isn't officially released but they are.

the blog i linked in this post is actually pretty good. the user comments over there do refer to quite a few bios issues and even on other forums, i see people moving back and forth between various bios revisions, and some even revert to 3114.

could you provide a little more detail about flashing the bios using winflash? all i've been able to come up with so far is the method of creating a bootable memory stick to execute it.

OK It's quite simple actually. Download the appropriate firmware.

Extract it's contents and you see two folders:

1. winflash
2. FW Folder

Copy the .fd fw file from the firmware folder to the winflash folder.

Load the winflash proggy InsydeFlash and it'll straight away as you to update. It'll the current bios version and the new version as well.

Be sure to close all proggy from background as a precautionary measure that nothing interferes with the process.

You are done.
