Subject: X79 Extreme 11 Bios won't flash
Posted: 23 Nov 2016 at 7:50am
Hi all,
I've got an X79 extreme 11 mobo on which i've been trying to flash the BIOS (2.80) for a while (year or 2) and had given up on it after all attempts failed, instant and internet flash.
I stumbled across something recently that said the UEFI won't do an internet flash below 2.90 as the asrock download servers changed, and the new address is in BIOS version 2.90 onwards.
Anyway, been trying to flash again using USB, HDD etc but cannot get it to flash. It taunts me by showing me the file /X79E11_3.30 in instant flash but then either hangs on that screen or displays /perflogs instead...then hangs
I've tried multiple USB sticks and HDD partitions formatted to FAT or FAT32, all USB ports on the mobo and the above is the best i can manage.
This has now become a matter of pride and refusing to let the computer get one over on me. Has anyone else had this issue or similar with their boards and can give any pointers?
