Not that it occurred in this specific case, I remain amazed that ASUS Live Update will supply a new BIOS. Those who are aware of the pitfails of a failed BIOS update will easily find it elsewhere. Those who are not will come to a forum like this and get proper instructions before they attempt the procedure. To provide it like that without instructions is a recipe for disappointment and frustration.
