Is it not what you want @ stock?? What would you like to improve? What is your primary use for this pc? (gaming/media/editing/CAD? )

First thing you need to do is go to asus website and get a new bios. Update.

After you get that Bios, select "Load optimzed defaults." answer yes/ F10 Yes exit/

I could go though the bios step by step with you but first try that.


Then try this:
