• Visit this thread and follow the installation instructions. (Thanks Lvcoyote!).

Warning:
**Do not restart or interrupt your PC while the flash is ongoing
**Do not Flash BIOS on overclocked settings
 

Upgraded so far no problems.  I am glad you all got rid of the SAS call out... I know that confused a LOT of people.  (Panicked them probably!  "Ack! No harddrive!")
 
Haven't OC'd yet as I tend to keep things stable on a new BIOS release... but thanks for keeping the product up to date and fixing things.

This bios crashed 4 times already just sitting at windows.
 
Could be user error on my part, but Im still checking that out.

Is this the full changelist for this BIOS revision?

Hehe just upgraded to 45 last week but ill give this a go :)

No Micro code update, no flashy for me.

Flash not working for me.  I tried running the 64 bit bat file, as directed.  Entered a capital Y and hit enter.  Greeted with a red error message that flashes up so fast and exits that I can't read it.  All I know is it is error 2XX (where X is a number, just can't read what).
 
Any ideas?

Flash in dos mode.
And it doesn't flash because it's missing a command to invoke that mode for flashing.

Try right clicking the 64 bit bat file and hit run as administrator.   
 
Error I recieve:
"Error 284: Fail to load driver (PCI access for Windows). 
tool needs to run with an administrator priviledge account."
 
Edit: You may need to lower your UAC "User Account Control" setting if it is set at default.  

Or you can open the command prompt by going to search and type in CMD. Right click, run as admin. use the command "CD .." to drop down a folder level, and again until you reach C:
 
Place the files in your main C drive, and to open the folder in command prompt type in "CD whateverthefolderiscalled"
 
Run the bat file by typing in "thefilename.bat"  then press enter - follow the instructions on screen.
