I bought the ASUS Maximus Formula motherboard but it needs to be flashed with a new BIOS in order for the E8400 to be recognized...is there any way of flashing the BIOS without having to get my hands on another 775 CPU?...can I use the ASUS EZ Flash utility?...or is there another way of flashing it if I have a floppy drive or flash drive installed?
 
According to an ASUS technician you can boot with an unrecognized CPU, but you should perform a BIOS update ASAP thereafter. Just for God's sake don't flash from within Windows (or anything else that runs in protected mode). If you use the built-in EZ Flash software you should be fine.
 
I flashed from a USB drive when I got mine. Put the .bin file on the drive, enter the BIOS and follow the directions in the manual.
