Posted

Long story short, Updated the bios via windows and now the pc wont boot. Initially it posted and then stayed on the asus boot screen but froze. Now it wont even show a signal. I updated to this bios https://overclocking.guide/download/asus-z170-p-non-k-oc-bios/

so i have no IGPU. Tried  ram stick, no gpu, resetting cmos and the asus crashfree  utility but still just black screens....

 

 

Im looking to buy a new mobo, h110 or b250? I dont have time to wait for a new bios chip and need to work, I'll try and get this fixed later and maybe sell the board

 

 

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Never use windows for bios flashing. People may say it is reliable, but windows on its own is generally unreliable already so I wouldn’t risk it. The bios should have a flash option. As for where you stand now, I would get a cheap board to cover you until you either get a new bios chip on that one, or just keep using the cheap one after you are up and going.

Yep, ordering an h110 board for 50€ on amazon with prime, i'll also order a bios chip from ebay. Its really a bummer but I guess thats what I get for trying to flash a bios from windows.

Orrr... It's what you get for flashing a modified BIOS with so many bugs and catches listed with it, it's a surprise it works at all, and you did so without having the tools or knowledge to externally re-flash the chip on your own if it all goes sideways.

 

All of this?

 

Quote

It might damage your hardware, no guarantees provided.

Issues found so far

No IGPU

No dynamic change of CPU frequency

No C-states

No Turbo Mode

CPU temperature reading is incorrect

AVX instructions have very low performance

Windows XP ACPI not supported

After flashing set the following settings to make it boot into OS with correct CPU speed

AdvancedCPU Configuration
- Boot Performance Mode -> Turbo Performance

AdvancedCPU ConfigurationCPU Power Management Configuration
- Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) -> Disabled
- CPU C states -> Disabled

Funny thing is I used this bios and it worked last year to oc my cpu... Then I RMA'd the board cus of another issue and Now i was doing the exact same thing... Guess its bad luck and the fact the new board probably has a newer bios

It should work with the i5 6500. It is a 100 series board ad should support gen 6 and 7 intel core processor, yours is a gen 6.

Perfect, glad to hear everything is running good. Also really glad I could help you with it. So are you going to get the bios fixed on your board, or stick with the one you have running now.
