I need to flash the BIOS on an ASUS A8V Deluxe to a newer version the older BIOS on the board doesn't work with the newer CPU. (quite common for ASUS from what I've heard, which I wasn't aware of when I got it)
I've got the new version, placed it in the floppy drive, however when I press ALT+F2 when it's starting up, it does nothing and the floppy won't load. It doesn't even try to kick the drive in. It then just repeats the annoying POST message.
This board is really giving me the you know what's, but I want to try all options before maybe getting it checked out, or replacing it with a different brand.
I'd appreciate as many suggestions as possible.
