Re: Flash bios without CPU

Dont worry - a number of Asus boards suffer this bug with the Post Reporter.

Just disable it in the BIOS.

Hi, my CPU recently fried and my P4C800 deluxe tells me: "system fail,
CPU test", so I'm buying a new CPU on ebay. The thing is, I saw that I
need to upgrade the bios to rev. 1016 in order to make the new CPU
work. How can I do that now that I don't have a CPU to flash my bios?

Is it possible to do it without CPU?

Or will the motherboard at least let me flash the bios with the new
CPU even if it's not sure what is the CPU?

(the new one is a Pentium 4 Extreme edition)

thanks

Marco
