My motherboard is a P8P67-M P67 B3 Revision. (UPC: 6108317973 / part number : 90-MIBDVA-G0UAY0DZ)
When I was planning to do the update i did not have a USB with me that time, so I searched and saw a video that you could access the ROM file from the HDD. So that’s what I did. This is also I believe the begining of the problem and my mistake. After selecting the ROM from the Asus EZ Flash 2 Utility v01.04, the EZ Flash Utility said Update successful and the computer would restart. After the restart my computer would just keep going back to EZ Flash Utility and a window saying «Reading Failed!».
I’ve rebooted and just keeps going back to EZ Flash while saying «Reading Failed!»
There is no way to enter the BIsOS settings.
I have tried to select the original BIOS from the Support CD but it just says it’s outdated.
Whenever I move the mouse a message : «reading failed» appears. Though I am ABLE to navigate through my PS2 keyboard.
Is there anyway I could fix this issue?
How can I get my system back to work?
Will this be fixed if I update propperly through a USB stick?
Since the incident I have not yet turned on my PC hoping to find the right way to solve this before I turn it back on.
Thank you for your help in advance and hoping I could still save my system. 
P.S. I’m new to this BIOS stuff and I admit that what I did, not backing up my BIOS and not following proper protocols was stupid and noobish. Pardon my ignorance.

When the update was finished the computer restarted and stopped at «Reading failed!» and nothing else I could do.
I put the update file on a USB-flash drive. Same thing = Reading failed!
Then I put the update file in the same folder on the USB-drive as I had previously on the HDD -> :\Temp\BIOS\P8P67-EVO-ASUS-3602.ROM and renamed the USB drive to the same as the HDD. (Don’t know if renaming was necessary)
Worked instantly!

Thank you for a swift reply sir =) . I haven’t tried that yet, as I was thinking that I might make matters worse. Though since you have suggested it, are there certain repercussions that I should take note of? Thank you!

I just wanted to confirm that this works as I just had the exact same problem crop up with trying to update the bios from a secondary hard drive. Switching to a USB key did the trick.
Awesome job!

So don’t move the mouse. Unplug it if you have to. Navigate using the keyboard (tab, arrows, enter) and go to the drive with the BIOS .ROM file and select it to update again.

«Reading failed» could mean several things. Most likely there was more flashing to come. Unfortunately with ASUS, «successfull» does not mean «finished».
If your flash got to that point, your HDD image useage was prob fine, it either picks it up or it doesnt.
There may have been an ME OPROM upgrade also involved which is separate from the bios partition itself. After running these flashes one must sit like a stone for a minute or two to see if more action is on the way. Rerunning the flash after the wait isnt a bad idea either, since it will say already done if not needed — cant hurt. You could retry the flash right now before the CMOS reset.
These ME involved upgrades also must have a PSU unplugged CMOS reset for the oprom to «register» immediately after the flash and before trying to boot into Windows. Only SOME bios vers have ME upgrades. And you should run latest Intel ME DRIVER PAK before flash to allow it to load latest avail vers appropriate for your mobo/bios’
At this point I think you should buy a new chip from ASUS (it only goes in one way — watch the little half moon cutout), then once again — the PSU unplugged CMOS reset before any boot attempt, then into bios and reset config.
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3885
It will automatically come with latest bios, or any vers you specify.

— «ME OPROM upgrade»
— «ME»
— «Intel ME DRIVER PAK»
If I just want to revert the things as they were before, will it be restored just by reseting through the CMOS switch? or should I push through with the flashing through a USB?
Thank you in advance

I remember having something like that happen to me a while back. I think mine was from a usb drive. If i remember i put the usb drive back in( i took it out after the update) and let it boot to the ez flash then once in ez flash went back to the main menu and changed the boot sequence back to my hard drive. the cmos on these boards are pins with a jumper near the bottom right of this board. Look at the manual(if its p8p67) then its section 2.19
So i just have to flash again with a USB and then reset in CMOS? or I should just reset in CMOS?

1. No POST
1.1 Please clear CMOS to have a try (refer to motherboard manual for details)
1.2 If the problem still persists, please contact your retailer for a check
2. There is error message during POST: BIOS ROM checksum error. Detecting floppy drive A media… Insert system disk and press enter
2.1 If the support CD supplied with motherboard is available
2.1.1 Please restart system and put support CD into optical drive, then the system will recover BIOS automatically using CrashFree utility
2.2 If the support CD supplied with motherboard is not available
2.2.1 Prepare a formated floppy disk, then unzip the BIOS file downloaded from ASUS website into the floppy disk.
2.2.2 Please restart system and insert the floppy disk into floppy drive, then the system will recover BIOS automatically using CrashFree utility
2.3 If it is not helpful after the troubleshooting as the steps 2.1 or 2.2, please clear CMOS( referring to the manual introduction)
2.4 If the problem still persists, please contact your retailer for a check
Good Luck!

These steps worked for me. 1. Ensure Enable USB Legacy Support is enabled in the BIOS. Initially I formatted my 4Gb USB stick FAT32, and EZ Flash 2 did not detect the media, just an A: and C: drive. Then I formatted with FAT and EZ Flash 2 detected the drive, loaded the *.BIN from www.asus.com and flashed the BIOS successfully. Hope this helps others. |

Were you updating or restoring after failure? Because you can use ASUS Update software (for upgrade) to flash BIOS from under Windows (it’s safe). And ASUS mobos have an ability to restore native BIOS from the supplementary CD in case the BIOS was killed bby some actions (emergency restore). Simply turn on the PC and put Mobo CD in the lowest drive (follow Mobo manual if necessary).

Asus recommend NOT using Asus Update, which is a third party app. I didn’t want to take the chance of bricking my mobo. |

Personally I think it’s not the program itself to blame for problems. It’s badly configured and glitchy Windows installations of end users and/or power failures. Well in the case of misconfigured OSes you’re right, the lower the level of updating is — the better

Oh, well, let’s put it properly: ASUS Update is not for novice and for those who don’t know how to play it safe Obviously nobody will run BIOS update from the Internet (first DL, then update only). Thus if one wants to avoid all those precautions (except UPS usage), use EZ Flash And I’ll keep playing by my rules
