This issue has been an ongoing one about close to a year after i purchased my PC. It is an ASUS PC when i go to the support site for updates in the past and now for my model i see BIOS updates.
Lately they have been all CAP Bios's,any time i try to use these type of BIOS's it is not recognized in the BIOS utility in the BIOS screen.
My last BIOS update was a ROM BIOS it worked fine, now all the future BIOS updates on ASUS's site are CAP.
If i try to rename the BIOS to a ROM i get an error "image integrity check failed". Of course i have spoken to ASUS Support in the past and now over the phone also, but no luck.
I do know it can be risky updating a BIOS if anything goes wrong the PC will become unstable or unusable.
Most will say unless there is not something in the BIOS update that will make improvements to the PC that you may feel will help it, do not do it then.
It has been 4 or so BIOS updates since one i have on this PC so far on ASUS's site.
I believe my motherboard is not compatible with a CAP BIOS, but why ASUS lists them for my PC, they do not even know, why i ask here.
