Default P5Q3 Deluxe need BIOS Update

Hi guys (sry for bad english, i'm brazilian)

So...my brother bought a new PC with P5Q3 Deluxe and Q9550, and he had so many Blue Screens.
Me, one month later, bought a new PC with P5Q3 Deluxe and Q9550, the same PC, and get Blue Screens too.
Asus website shows the P5Q3 Deluxe need a new BIOS to work right with Yorkfield and C1 Stepping.

I need to upgrade the BIOS, but i'm very scared ...because i get down a P5K3 Deluxe some months ago, flashing it via OS.

Upgrading with EZ Flash 2 and USB is 100% safety? And what BIOS should i download?

Please guys, help

Yes, doing it through EZ Flash is the best way.

Just make sure you don't turn it off or lose power during the flash!!

And I would say get the latest BIOS.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. The best safety is to have the computer on a battery backup if you're that paranoid.

Are you gonna do it from the BIOS EZ Flash or Windows EZ flash? The BIOS OS version won't matter...

Get the Vista 64bit.
Then get version 1702. It looks like the latest.
Then download it and extract the file and put it on the USB drive.
Then reboot and go to the tools tab and look for the file. You might have to use the tab to look for it or whatever options it gives you to find it. Sometimes it shows right up and sometimes you have to look for it.
Then follow the instructions onscreen. If you look at the manual it should give you more detailed instructions.
The thing you need to make sure of is not to shut down or turn off the power during the update. If you have battery backup that would be ideal, but I've done it several times without it.
If you have more questions post back otherwise post how it went.
