your friend could be right..

the latest bios for your board is here http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P4S8X-X

read how to flash the bios then read again just to make sure....

flashing the bios is not hard at all...i can see it being a little scary i was scared when i did my first.

if i can help you or guide you through it let me know....

asus may use a flash bios utilty that is ran from within windows..these are the easiest.

kind regards
