kudos:2 | Haha, hey I'm just wondering. I've never flashed a Bios before. So I have no clue what could happen. |

Oh. There are times it will wipe all your bios settings, you just have to set it again. Like IDE to AHCI, disable onboard sound, disable onboard graphics, video card to PEG(Unless your mainboard is on AUTO.) etc. |

Take notes if you have it really customized that's what I usually do.

kudos:1 | When I updated my P8Z77-V bios, I did remember to change the settings back to RAID, but my PC would not boot because I had left the video setting at default instead of PCIe. I'm using a GTX-570 graphics card and I never installed the integrated graphics drivers, so when the bios was flashed, the video setting was put back to iGPU mode, which obviously the system could not recognize without any drivers.
Other than that 2 minute scare that was easy to resolve, I've had no problems with the motherboard.
I made sure to have all of the motherboard drivers and bios downloaded and unzipped on a USB thumb drive. I never even bothered with the installation disk that came with it. Easiest PC build I've ever had, and I do this about every 9 months.
Love it so far, and it does seem fast. |

As I stated upthread, when I rebuilt it with the replacement Mobo, I was floored by how fast it was. I love this thing now that it's working right.
