But if the USB ports are not working and not picking up the USB PCI hub in ASUS EZ flash, can the bios be updated from CD?

If you want a quick answer, check to see if the bios is instructed to pick up devices rather than your O.S. If it is failing to see drives, it may be a corrupted bios. Best way to update is via USB, esp with no floppy drive. Re-installing Windows without checking on the bios pick-up could be a waste of your time. |

Never updated that way, but sounds like a bad board to me. Before trying that, resetting the CMOS would be worthwhile (if not done already).

Yeah I've done that already. Just after updating the BIOS from my eSATA drive with ASUS EZ Flash 2 and I'm still getting only 2 cores.
So I think I'll just re-install windows now to make sure before I RMA.

Was just about to suggest the same. Probably spend less time doing so and be in a better position to know.
