The best was is to download the newest BIOS from ASUS and put it on a USB drive. You can then use the BIOS update utility built into the BIOS to update it.

Asus makes a tool that you can update the bios with. You can download BIOS updates and drivers from http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P8B75MCSM/HelpDesk_Download/

Get a usb. Format to FAT32 and download Bios from ASUS website. Unzip it, should be CAP file and put it in usb. Restart into UEFI BIOS, Advanced mode and EZ FLASH in tools and click the CAP file to update bios. Lastest BIOS for this mobo is 1606.

You may not need to. Do you have ahci enabled in Bios? All I did was make sure ahci was enabled upon the first bootup and it recognized all 3 of my hdds. I also chose to reinstall windows after from scratch that way there were no drivers for my old motherboard to be deleted. It was easier to install windows after reformatting the system drive then it would have been to remove everything for the old motherboard.

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

Ours is a few months old, and I didn't update the Bios... ours is working fine!

Yes, you can change in the BIOS. But doing so requires you to reinstall the OS. You may also run the 2 SSD as JBOD which is what I am doing with mine.

I also installed this memory in 2 different D620 laptops and I didn't have to do anything in the Bios. the memory was just recognized and worked great. maybe you got a bad one or something else (like the keyboard cable) got disconnected when you installed it? Good luck John!

I'm 99% sure that it needs a bios update to run it. Its super easy to do though, just follow the instructions in the manual.

Hey Roger... to answer that question accurately 2 things are needed 1) complete description of your system specs.. specially your operating system 2) someone qualified enough to interpret them. As far as i can confortably say... i git a pretty new Windows 8 laptop.. i only had to plug it.. and that's it... in this day in age no one would make a device that would require you to mess around with the bios.. of course provided your computer.. is not old as dirt.... Roger. This has worked so well so far that i d say. Buy it , try it if it does not work. Return it.

I'm not sure I understand your question, because usually you do not access BIOS in a desktop screen. However, if you're looking to access Bios on post, try the F2, F12 or delete key on boot. as well, you can go directly to Samsung's website for instructions on how to access BIOS. Hope this helps.

Depending on the manufacturing date, BIOS versions would differ, but you can always update to the latest version of BIOS by downloading it from ASUS' website.

You must go to the web site of the manufacturer of your motherboard. They should provide a download link where you can find BIOS and Driver updates.

Exactly. Asus Bios managment makes it a snap. Verify before updating you may already have the lastest installed.

Oops, sorry, my techno-god geek added a reply, the black and silver ones have some more optional files in the bios which the blue ones do not. More I can't tell you, sorry.

You cannot access the BIOS from Windows. When you restart your computer, press F2 to access the BIOS, but you must press F2 before Windows starts to load.

Yes, I have done so on both of mine. Suggest a USB. If you add one internally the BIOS will "yell at you for having opened the chassis". Not a big deal to turn off but.... In any event, I have an internal on one and a USB on the other. Little or no difference in performance.

If it would take it you would have to install xp and then try a restore. But with the bios and chipset it may not work right.

If you're replacing a drive, it should boot to it. Best way to find out-try it. if it doesn't boot, go into bios and make necessary change. You can always use F8 key to select boot device too.
