Hello,

My ASUS Rampage V Extreme won't boot from BIOS 2, stays in boot Loop "00", but boots normally from BIOS 1.

I removed BIOS 2 from the slot on the motherboard and installed it in BIOS 1 slot leaving the motherboard with only 1 BIOS. With only 1 BIOS installed the motherboard also boots.

With both BIOS 1 and BIOS 2 installed, and with the motherboard set to boot from BIOS 2 it won't boot and stays in loop "00".

When I changed the BIOS 2 slot I was able to flash it to version 1701, and now both BIOS have the same version 1701, but the motherboard only boots from the BIOS in the slot 1.

Any ideas? Should I RMA my board?

Regards,
Eduardo

Same happened to me three days ago, but for Bios chip 1. And send motherboard second time for repair, it's not acceptable now, due my work...
( First time stop working with CPU and this happened me with previous motherboard Maximus VI Extreme too.... )

Tried flash old bios, new bios, nothing helps. Only send it for repair help i think.

Semes this is a common thingy... but try updating bios using USB Flashback.
That worked for me

I can confirm that USB Flashback method is working. It happened twice to me and I was able to fix it.

Could you please explain me how do I update the RE5 BIOS using the USB Flashback method?

Read the manual before asking.

The latest modded R5E BIOS can be found at win-raid by clicking this sig

I did update the 2nd BIOS again but I'm still not able to boot from it. The Q-Code stays at "00" and the boot stops.

Umm that is odd normally 00 can means the chips corrupted but if its working in the other bios slot it would be the slot on the board rather than the chip its self.

Dont worry man, I had the same problem and I removed the bios chip and flash it with the EZP2010 bios programmer, bought it from ebay for about 10 euro. Its a common problem with this board , the bios gets corrupted and cant be restored with flashback or any other method. See here for full instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TaZqJPG75A
