    Asus P5K-E WIFI BIOS.

    I have a problem....

    I recently reflashed the BIOS on my Asus P5K-E WIFI AP motherboard and now the bootup splashscreen says it's a P5K-E, and not a P5K-E WIFI AP like before. Motherboard works fine without a problem though.
    I went into the BIOS and the option to switch off the Wireless card is still there, so I'm not sure if Asus was just lazy and didn't bother writing "WIFI AP" in the splashscreen or if there's something wrong?
    I did however download the correct BIOS from the Asus website, so I know that I'm not wrong. Should I be concerned?

    Thanks.

      I just went to the Asus support website and the BIOS for the P5K-E WIFI and the P5K-E are exactly the same files. Could this explain everything?

          No reason to worry. It's not unusual that motherboards in the same family share the same bios file. And as time passes, the manufacturer only updates one of them to save a few bucks.

                  I'm not really sure of that, because I have 2x 1GB sticks. But 2x 2GB should work with XP because the max limit for XP is 4GB, but it will opnly address 3.25GB of that 4GB.

                      ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
                      by grimacelord
                      Hello,

                      I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

                      I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

                      The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

                      Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

                      by razor_amd
                      With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

                      For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

                      I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

                      ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
                      Model No: RC72LA
                      Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

                      Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                      I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

                      ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                      by jbonavita
                      Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                      With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                      With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                      Some issues
                      A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                      B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                      Things I tried

                      1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...
