Boot failure after upgrading bios asus p4xp-x

Hi
If you go to the page below there are many options for installing a BIOS update.
Desktops and all in ones ThinkCentre Series desktops ThinkCentre M58e...
There are also various utilities to help you upgrade the BIOS, including one for upgrading from within Windows. You should make sure that you have a full backup of your data and programmes before you start. Please make sure that the version here is an upgrade compared with your current version and that you read the instructions very carefully and are comfortable with them as incorrectly upgrading, or interrupting the upgrade can lead to your machine refusing to boot at all from anything. Please be careful.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

YOU SHOULD NEVER UPGRADE BIOS IF NOT ABSOLUTLY
NECESSARY.

When you start your laptop and see the "Asus" logo, press ESC, then navigate with your arrow keys to select the correct boot device and hit Enter to boot.

Hope this helps.

Hello use auto detect here to find the right mainboard:

Download asus update, this is the easyest program to upgrade the bios, while windows is running.

Install first asus update:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/ASUS-Update-Utility.shtml

When the mainboard is found, select download, and select your windows system.
Open the bios folder, and download the latest bios version.
Unzip the bios file.
Run asus update, and select update bios from file, and select the bios file, in the folder you just have downloaded ( the bin file )

Be very carefull when you upgrade the bios, because a power loss will damage the mainboard, while the upgrade process is running.

You also have to setup the bios settings, when the job is done.
You have to select F1 or F2 to enter the settings.

If any doubt download the manual.

Good luck

Hello download here at asus:

http://www.asus.com/support/Search-Result/?keyword=m2n68-am

Select download and your windows system.

Open the bios file folder.

Click on global for download.

Unzip the file.

Make also sure it`s the right mainboard, because flashing the bios with a wrong one, WILL destroy the mainboard.

Use the asus update utility, to upgrade the bios, while windows is running, for a safe upgrade.

Good luck

Can you verify the firmware version of your BIOS?

Uodate the P5VDC-MX BIOS to version 0806. Download it from ASUS official site.

log in to the BIOD using the DEL button (most likely unless it says otherwise at the boot window), then you can change the boot sequence to have the FDD as the first boot drive.

I got it :-)

Damn Asus , it was a hard session ;-)

1. Make an ISO from your original Asus CD denn insert (with isobuster or something) the Bios Firmware 1004 in the main Dir name the file M2N-MX.ROM

2.Burn a Second disc with the 0804 Bios ROM also rename the 0804 Rom to M2N-MX.ROM

3. Go to EZ FLASH with ALT + F2 and then insert the 1004 CD wait till Erasing is ready Then Turn OFF your PC :-) so you crashed the bios thats what you need to run the embeded CrashFRee Tool

4 After you turn your PC on insert the 0804 CD then it flashes the this Rom and we are Happy :-)
