This is just one of the many example people are facing problem as mention by the person with asus board all he did was putting in the bios from asus site onto the thumbdrive and voila everything works but there is just some of us guys that do accordingly to the instruction and somewhere still went wrong therefore i ask for a detail explanation but pls do it on ur free time triple thx ^_^

There is a post in that thread by francisw19 that is as good instructions as they get. Don't think I would lay it out any better.
