Hi guys, wanted to update bios from 1.3 to 2.1 , but instant flash won't do nothing, it will only show - [], f6 won't work at all. But now I read that people are having problems with it. Is it comfirmed ? Just wanted to install new intel me driver, and 2.1 is required version. But for some reason I think that it's now worth testing. I'd like to hear more about it. And one more thing, to use lucid virtu, is it obligated to install vga driver ?

I used this method as I was unable to get F6 to work from the bios boot screen when a USB flash drive was connected.
Remember it must be formatted as FAT and NOT NTFSLast edited by muscles019; 05-17-2012, 07:03 AM.

also, I got my audio working. Apparently shuffle around my desktop trying to get these USB sticks working I accidentally bumped my power switch on my speakers. So no issues but operator errors.
Now I just need to figure out how to get my high speed ram working. DRAM Voltage now stuck at 1.25v no matter if I set it manually and it won't let my clock past 1600MHz on any of my three ram kits (1866, 2133, and 2400). I already did the battery thing overnight with no success.
