I have been having trouble with a 2400s not functioning fully in my Asus P8H61-I in that the pcie gpu won't be detected. Chip is fine as tested it in another board. I wanted to back track to an older BIOS but it won't let me saying its out dated. Should I be able to install an older BIOS?
It depends on the board and BIOS in question, after a given revision you can only roll back so far with some (normally there is a warning/BIOS note to indicate this).
How are you trying to install the BIOS? I've usually had good results using Asus EZ Flash from within the BIOS itself using a USB stick. After saying that I haven't done it on a recent motherboard only socket 775 and 1366.
Yup using EZ flash from the bios. I think it's a lost cause and I'm going to have to sell the 2400S and buy something else, undoubtedly dearer.
