    weird......

    My motherboard is a asus p4p800 deluxe.
    When i tried to use asus ez flash to update my bios (press alt+f2 during post) it didn't happened absolutely nothing!!!
    I already updated my bios using asus update but i wanted to know if this happened to anyone before me and what this could be.

    hmm, is your keyboard USB? check the bios for settings like USB keyboard on/off could be some sorta fluke with that, toggle it either way even if it doesn't make sense. Also does asus have the hot flash thing where you can flash from the OS? or was that another company?

    Yep Asus is the company that also updates through the OS, but I personally don't suggest. Basically, if your system is unstable and it crashes before the bios update is finished, you'll have yourself a useless bios chip/mobo in your hands... Btw Kappa, to enter the ez flash utility you'll have to press the alt-f2 combination more than once during post. Otherwise, your mobo may not detect what you're trying to do.
