Hi,
I'm new here, so I'm sorry if break the forum rules.
I have problem with this configuration.
Mobo: Rampage IV Extreme BIOS 1404.
CPU i7 4960X.
My mobo doesn't start with this CPU, no POST, red LED CPU error flash.
My original mobo BIOS is 1404,
BIOS compatible with i7 4960X is 4310 and up.
BIOS upgrade is needed.
What is done.
1. Download Rampage-IV-Extreme-CAP-Converter.ROM,
2. Change file name to R4E.ROM.
3. No POST so I use USB BIOS Flashback,
4. Format USB Flash drive to FAT32, copy R4E.ROM,
5. Mobo in standby,
6. Put USB flash drive to white usb port, press and hold ROG button.
7. ROG LED flash several minutes and turn off, everything is OK as in the manual.
9. After installing Rampage-IV-Extreme-CAP-Converter.ROM BIOS version is 2105 still my CPU don’t work,
11. BIOS upgrade is needed,
12. Download Rampage-IV-Extreme-ASUS-4901.CAP,
13. Rename to R4E.CAP
14. Delete from USB Flash drive old R4E.ROM file,
15. Copy R4E.CAP to the same USB Flash drive,
16. Mobo in standby,
17. Put USB flash drive to white usb port, press and hold ROG button,
18. ROG LED flashes 4 times and turn off. Upgrade Error,
19. Copy R4E.CAP to diferent FLASH Drive the same issue.
20. If I copy any of the ROM files to the USB flash drive it works, but not with CAP files even after installing Rampage-IV-Extreme-CAP-Converter.
Is it possible to upgrade BIOS from 1404 to 4109 without CPU, MEM,Graphic Card (system boot up)?
Is conversion from ROM to CAP works without CPU, MEM,Graphic card?
I found this tutorial https://www.asus.com/en/support/FAQ/114645/
and i found this interesting "The system will reboot twice. After that, the conversion to .CAP BIOS structure is completed."
i found this movie and there is a difference beween normal BIOS upgrade and conversion, after conversion and boot up the system also update EC firmware. I can't boot after conversion, is this my problem ?
I’ve got Kingston DataTravel 2GB USB 2.0 is it ok ?
Is it possible that pen-drive works with the ROM files and does not work with CAP ?
What is my mistake ????
If You have any suggestions please let me know.
I spend couple days on this problem and I'm out of ideas.
P.S. Sorry for my english this is not my native language.
