![]() I've attached a video of what exactly happens.Ĭlearing the CMOS did nothing, the motherboard still continues to boot into the "BIOS is updating." screen. ![]() The USB flash drive was left plugged in the entire time. It does this over and over when it reboots. Once this gets to 100% and completes the computer reboots however a few seconds into POST it goes straight back to the "BIOS is updating." screen. Once both updates were 100% the computer rebooted and a screen stating "BIOS is updating. The BIOS verified the BIOS file and then began to update the BIOS first and then the EC Firmware second.Īs soon as the BIOS updated started though I thought something was off because every 1% took almost 5 minutes and in total it took almost 9 hours for the entire update process to finish. Reboot the computer and began to update the BIOS via ASUS' EZ Flash BIOS Update Utility in the BIOS. Inserted the flash drive into one of the rear USB 2.0 ports. I formatted a 4GB USB flash drive to FAT32 and copied only the "P9X79PRO.ROM" file to the flash drive. I executed the BIOS Renamer tool which renamed the BIOS file from "P9X79-PRO-CAP-Converter.ROM" to "P9X79PRO.ROM". I downloaded the BIOS Converter & BIOS Renamer tool from here (Driver & Tools->Others).Įxtracted the BIOS Converter file and the BIOS Renamer tool. I googled "P9X79 Pro" and clicked on the first link which redirected me to the P9X79 Pro support page. Current BIOS version installed is 1203 and any newer BIOS version required a BIOS Converter to be installed first(Some of you might know of this or have experienced this I don't know if this was just an ASUS thing.). ![]() I bought an Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2 that I wanted to install on my ASUS P9X79 Pro however a BIOS update was required to use it. Patriot 4x4GB DDR3-1866 (only one memory stick installed during the BIOS update) For the past two weeks I've been trying to fix/figure out this issue I've had since updating the BIOS on my motherboard.
