Hello everyone, I have been scouring the internet trying to fix my screw up. I just bought 2 Asus P8H61-M Rev 1.01 motherboards. They both worked perfectly but do not work with ivy bridge chips, so I thought I needed to update the bios, which I did. But it turns out I updated it to the P861-M 3.0 Motherboard bios. Seems like there should be something in EZ Flash to keep me from doing that but no matter, what's done is done. Anyway I retrieved a copy of the other (not broken) motherboard bios and when I try to downgrade to my old bios version it says "image outdated". So I need to find a way of making it believe its a newer version without being one. I was attempting to do it through DOS but the broken bios won't allow me to boot to anything. So whatever I do has to be done in EZ Flash. So my main question being: is there a way to fool EZ Flash into thinking that I am updating the BIOS while really downgrading it? Thank you in advance

The original disk includes BIOS recovery features. Start by booting from the motherboard drive and then take out the remaining storage devices from the system.

Hello! I attempted the same as you. I’m unable to locate a compatible ROM for this board. Could you please email it to [email protected]? Thank you very much.
