Hi all,
I apologize if this is the wrong section but I'd guess it falls under support, onto the problem -
I have an Asus P5W DH Deluxe and need to flash the BIOS so it will take my E6750. For this I need the BIOS revision 2104. I've checked the Asus site, found the revision I need and when I try to download it nothing happens. It's a dead link. Asus support isn't worth the paper it's written on so therefore I turn to you guys. Does anyone have this revision and / or knows a way around this. For one of the worlds biggest motherboard makers I expected more to be honest. Cheers all

Hi Murdoch,

Yep, the entire Asus site is down right now (19.35).

I downloaded a whole set of drivers & BIOS for my M2V yesterday, normally they're quite good, though sometimes a little slow when busy.

Unless anybody here has that particular BIOS I'm afraid you'll have to wait until their site's up and running again, although you may find it using a search engine but that option is a little risky, somebody might be hosting a nasty claiming it's a BIOS file, so beware.

I'm not using the search engine route for that reason. I still can't get the BIOS revision from Asus but I can use their forums etc which makes me think it's just a dead link and not the whole site going down. Thanks for the reply though

They usually have several links on the page , Global ,USA , Europe etc . I have found that if one does not work one of the otheres usually will . Just been on the site and it looks to be working , mind you that was a link for my board .

The page that has the multiple download option doesn't have the revision I need. I can't win

Edit = I'm going to the Asus site - CPU support - Intel Core 2 Duo Processor - Core 2 Duo E6750 - Then I scroll down to the Asus P5W DH Deluxe BIOS revision, click the 'Go' link and I get nothing.
