Question
I have updated BIOS on X10SLM+_LN4F as following steps:
Downloaded the BIOS and renamed the file AFUDOSU.SMC to AFUDOSU.EXE. Executed the command "AFUDOSU.EXE x10slmp5.424".

Now, my system can only read 512 MB though there are 4 DIMMs x 8 GB installed. I am trying to re-flash but system hangs while boot into USB stick. Please guide me to fix it.
Answer

Please refer to below to re-flash the bios:

1. Download the BIOS again to ensure you have complete files. And rename the file "x10slmp5.424" to "super.rom"

2. Copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into a USB flash device or a writable CD/DVD disc's Root "\" Directory.

3. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS binary image ("super.rom") and power the system down.

4. While powering on the system, press and hold <CTRL>and <HOME>simultaneously on your keyboard until the USB device's LED indicator comes on. This will take a few seconds or up to one minute.

5. Once the USB device's LED is on, release the <CTRL>and <HOME>keys. The system may generate beep codes to indicate that the BIOS ROM firmware is being reprogrammed. The screen will also display a message as shown below. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS!

6. When the Boot Sector Recovery Process is complete, the system will reboot automatically .

7. When DOS prompt appear, please type AMI.BAT BIOSname.###. (Do Not rename any file!)

8. Do not interrupt the process until the flashing is complete.

9. After you see the message of BIOS has completed the update, unplug the AC, clear the CMOS and plug in the AC and power on the system. then press F1 to go to the BIOS setup screen and press F9 to load the default and press F10 to save and exit."
