ASUS P8Z77-V BIOS

[pickyantivirus]

Hey everyone,

I've finally build my new build and everything is in but my noctua (it's coming tomorrow).

After all the drivers were installed i decided to do a UEFI (BIOS) Update. It's now been going for over an hour (way over an hour) and is sat at 14% (around 1% every 5 mins if i'm lucky).

Is this normal or whats wrong? I tried canceling it but it just rebooted and started all over again. This seems like a completely ridiculous amount of time for a BIOS update and have never had one take this long.

Specs:

Intel core i7 2600k

ASUS P8Z77-V

8GB Mushkin Blackline 1600Mhz RAM

120GB Mushkin Chronos SSD

MSI GTX 570 (Twin frozer III)

Corsair AX 750W

CM 690 II Advanced (White)

Stock cooler until Noctua arrives.

Any help would be very much appreciated, Thank You!

EDIT: 12:33 and only at 33% f**k this, I'm going to bed praying it's all working by tomorrow.

Never heard of a bios update taking that long. might be best to simply wait it out if its making progress. it will either finish the update or more likely error out. alternatively you can redownload the new bios from asus(making absolutely sure its the right model), put that in the root of an otherwise empty flash drive and use the usb flash bios feature. read in your manual about how to use that its activated by a button on your i/o pannel.

I wouldn't have updated the BIOS tbh. Most people only update when they run into issues. If everything was working as it should have I would have left it, but if you did have problems then fair enough.

I have no suggestions, but let us know how it goes.

Thanks anyway. I will be trying a lot of different things when I get home.

Hey everyone. Got it working great now! I left it unplugged all day whilst at college, came back, turned it on and it installed the update in 10 seconds rebooted and has worked amazingly well since.

EDIT:I don't suppose anyone has a Z77 chipset board with i7 2600K do they. Just I'm trying to overclock and it's a nightmare. I will get a stable overclock, reboot and get " overclock failed! press f1 to access bios" or something along those lines. I've given up for now and put it back to default. The ASUS UEFI has actually made it harder for me as I' way more used to the old BIOS's and found it much easier to find and understand everything. With UEFI everything is named differently.

I have the deluxe. hit f7 to go into advanced mode of the uefi. in my bios under a.i. tweaker is oc tuner. try that for a basic o/c then lower voltage or raise turbo multi until you become unstable then take it back a peg or 2. you can go for lower temps with lower voltage or higher turbo speed.
