I've never encountered a situation that needed a long time at defaults after a flash, I mean the bios was cleared, and if the flash worked, setting to defaults, and then going up from there, should show differences IF the problem was bios related.

Maybe I'm missing something in the wording BE, I dunno.

He mentioned that when above stock settings, that he had warm boot problems, so IF it was bios related, the problem was either fixed, or it wasn't I would think.

This isn't a bash, I just don't understand why he would leave it at Optimized defaults after the flash, when his problem isn't at default- it's when he's in a Non-Default scenario.


Well he has problems existing so let it warm up at defaults for a while and see if there is any noticeable issues then go into seeing if problem still exists at what the settings were that were giving issues.

I always let my PC warm up at optimized defaults for a while after flashing plus the new Bios if you run the .EXE Package the entire top row of blocks DO NOT get Updated and that may have been my issue on that Bios so I gave him the switching Parameters along with the /F Switch and it should have written all this time minus a couple on the top row when programming and by doing it twice allows for cleaner flash and better chance of over writing the old properly.

So we will see what happens.............................
