Motherboards Sabertooth z77 help needed please

I tried to update my bios but all I am getting is a black screen. Please can anyone advice me what to do. I am so damn peeved with myself. Gggggrrrrrrrr

 

Assumed you have reset the CMOS?

 

Hi Tom how do I do that on the z77 bud.

 

My gene ballsed up on a bios update. If you have the driver CD it should be able to pull a good image from that by some wizardry. It really freaked me out.
Also my gene allows me to hook up to another laptop or PC via USB to USB which has got me out of a scrape.

Oooh. Final thought, have you removed all removable storage devices? That has been known to screw me up before.

Solution
There is CMOS Jumper :
1.) Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2.) Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 ( default ) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

3.) Plug in the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4.) Hold down the < Del > key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.


There is a CMOS switch on the back I/O of the motherboard.
1.) Press down the “clr CMOS” switch on the back I/O.
2.) Hold down the < Del > key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.
( It is the CLRTC_SW jumper )


Note :
1. The “clr CMOS” switch will not function if the CLRTC_SW jumper is moved to the disable position.
2. Ensure to re-enter your previous BIOS settings after you clear the CMOS.
3. You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to CPU overclocking. With the C.P.R.( CPU Parameter Recall ) feature, shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset CPU parameter settings to default values.

 

Trying to locate the jumper first lol

 

right got this on the screen

warning bios recovery mode has been detected
please put the file file z77st.cap into a hdd or a usbstick and then reset your computer

But how


it also says
you can also insert supportcd to your cd to your cd rom and reset your computer.

But where do you reset it

 

Your Sabertooth has the USB Flashback feature. It may be worth giving it a go:

 

Am I stops I cannot find it on there site to download it. Only the renamer

 

Try this link, its the latest BIOS: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/SABERTOOTH_Z77/SABERTOOTH-Z77-ASUS-1708.zip

Follow the renaming instructions too.

 

Thanks guys. Tried everything but no luck and then the last link I used it and then Bobs your uncle it has worked. This is exactly why I love this forum and everyone in it. Thanks so much rep added

 

Glad to hear you got it sorted

 

One more question now that has worked, it will not let me uninstall aI SUITE II. Because when I start the PC it says it cannot find it but its in my program files x86 but it will not let me delete or uninstall it.

Tried to find out where its running in the background but cannot.

 

Try booting in safe mode and deleting it from in there. Also make sure its stopped from starting up by going to Start > Run > msconfig > Startup

 

Thanks bud found him and deleted. Actually seems a bit more stable. Will test the updated bios tonight. Again cheers for everything

 

Wahey, good to hear! Panic over

 

Yep thanks to you guys. But learnt from it that's for sure. Never been a software man. Manual is now going to be read from front to back.
