Many thanks, confirmed that it flashes OK and the board is working. However, there is still the issue that all of the driver downloads from ASUS for the board do not install, particularly the VGA driver. The board is working and Windows installs but there are still compatability issues with ASUS drivers. Let's hope ASUS sort this out in the next BIOS release for the board. Has anyone else has tried to install the ASUS downloaded VGA driver for a modded P8Z68 board and got it to install OK? . Many thx once again for the modded BIOS, most appreciated.
