Hi, I tried to update my BIOS following the instructions here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Technical Documents SABERTOOTH 990FX
However, when I try to switch to my flash drive, usually drive L:, it always says invalid drive. I switched to d: and the bupdater command would not work, it kept giving me Bad Command: Abort Retry Ignore Fail. Problem reading from D:\.
Is there another way I can update the BIOS? Thanks.
Hi,
I have the .rom file of the BIOS update, I just can't seem to figure out a way to update the BIOS.
Thanks.
Hi,
The drive was identifying as FAT32. However, I read some guides and manually reformatted using diskpart (it took over an hour to do so, the USB drive is 16GB (~14.5GB free). I followed the directions again and switching to d: switched to my USB drive even though in Win7 it had been assigned to drive letter I:, I guess it is different in DOS? Anyway, I successfully updated my BIOS to 1604. Working on updating my Corsair SSD Firmware. Then I'll work on finding any memory/disk problems and viruses/malware.
Thanks again.

Just finished updating my SSD firmware. The Corsair SSD Firmware Update Tool made it fairly easy. Time to run some scans and make sure nothing else is wrong. Cheers.

I ran SFC scannow and it said:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. The CBS.log file was too large and exceeded the forum's limits so I could not attach it.
I scheduled a disk check and I am running memtest right after I reboot in a minute. Thanks.
Is it running the chkdsk ?
Memtest
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Pay attention to Part 3: If You Have Errors:. It will tell you how to single out a bad stick .
I scheduled the chkdsk. Right now Memtest is running. Still on first pass. I will let it run for a few hours.
Hello, I ran Memtest during the day and it ran for 8 hours, completed 2 passes and reported no errors. I also installed Microsoft Security Essentials and uninstalled Sophos. Ran a scan with MSE and found no threats.
When I tried to run chkdsk it said my disk was in use and that I could schedule a chkdsk scan. I clicked schedule, and the prompt went away. When I restarted after Memtest, I didn't see any chkdsk scan. I will try again.
