Asus Update - Does it Work?

[Shocker]

Whenever I use the Asus Update software that came with my A7V333 to update my bios, the Asus update always says "failed to connect." Has anyone gotten this to work?

Personally it didnt work in 2 tries and i didtched it as it was less of a pain for me to just do it manually. This was about a year and a half ago, good to see they still havent gotten their act together

What about the "my logo" thing. Where is the bios file on my hard drive? I've tried everything that I can think of, but can't find it.

I'm too scared to try it.

Ive gotten this to work just recently. Just download the BIOS file directly from the asus website yourself and save it in a file. Then, choose to update the BIOS from a file in the update program. All easy from there on out.

Plasticninjacow,
That worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Couple of questions if anyone knows the answer.
My processor now shows at 1736 instead of 1733. It's a 2100XP. Why is that?
I also have an option in my bios now to select 1300, 1733, or 2137 for processor, instead of just 1300 and 1733. I'm guessing that I should not select 2137. Correct?

That is correct.
