Woops my bad! seems you're right

So we are supposed to run this in conjunction with the Intel ME drivers that went up a couple of days ago?

Wait... where did you find it? I think I am blind LOL. And half the time when I run the summary it freezes my entire computer...... and if I run the sensors only, it freezes my entire computer while loading. Always some issue with this mobo and drivers.. 😞

Run the program and uncheck both "Sensors-only" and "Summary-only" and hit [Run] 🙂

BTW, the title of this post is wrong. There is no BIOS update, but ME module within it.
Some interesting stuff.

Thank you. Got it. Updated ME confirmed. Cept half the time it still freezes my entire PC and lots stuff into event viewer... maybe not worth solving here but I'd like to know if there's something wrong
