Greetings,

Today I downloaded the p33 BIOS update from EVGA's website. I used an ISO burner to put the file on a CD, then reset the current BIOS to default parameters. When I restarted with the disc in the boot drive, the flash tried to work, but didn't go through. Screenshot is below. What went wrong and how do I make it work? Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

The exact same thing happened with one of my 680i LTs. I contacted XFX and they sent me an ISO which forced it through. I would contact EVGA for the same thing. When I contacted them they(XFX) sent me the ISO right away so there is a problem with some 680i boards it seems.

I hope this helps

Problem solved! Credit to mtgbos over at the EVGA forums. Turns out, you can manually force the update to go through. Here's what you do.

- When you get to the fail screen that I posted above, type the command "awdflash /f" (no quotes, of course)
- When it asks for the file name, type "nf68_p33.bin" (again, no quotes)
- Choose whether or not to save current BIOS
- When reflash is complete, remove disk and press F1
- Enjoy a frosty beverage and tell your wife how smart you are for figuring out how to fix the computer
