Question (522): Why can I not find a CSM option under the Boot tab in BIOS?(2022/10/13)

Question: Why can I not find a CSM option under the Boot tab in BIOS?(2022/10/13)

Answer:
When you set Fast Boot to Ultra Fast under the boot tab in BIOS, CSM (Compatibility Support Module) will be disabled and hidden automatically. This is because Ultra Fast Boot is supported only when booting in full UEFI mode, so without enabling CSM.

Question: Why can my game not start with my Intel 600 series motherboard?(2021/11/2)

Answer:
Some games use DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection. Please check for available updates for your game, where the DRM solution supports Alder Lake CPUs.
If the game development is discontinued and there is no update available for the DRM, please follow below steps to enable the "Legacy Game Compatibility Mode”.

Step 1.
Press [Del] or [F2] during the POST stage to boot into BIOS.

Step 2.
Press [F6] to enter "Advanced” mode and go to Advanced\CPU Configuration

Step 3.
Enable the "Legacy Game Compatibility Mode” in BIOS.
(The option is at the bottom of the CPU Configuration page)

Step 4.
Press [F10] to save the setting and restart the system.

Step 5.
The [Scroll Lock] key on your keyboard is now a hotkey. It can be used to enable/disable the Intel E-core parking feature. Before starting a game outdated DRM protection, please press [Scroll Lock] within the OS to enable Intel E-core parking.

For further information, please visit Intel website.

Question (423): How can I update BIOS by ASRock Instant Flash on AM4 platform?(2017/3/1)

Question: How can I update BIOS by ASRock Instant Flash on AM4 platform?(2017/3/1)

Answer:
Since AMD AM4 is a new structure and we just found BIOS cannot be completely updated by our Instant Flash. Thus, for the old BIOS version released before 2017/03/07, there is no "Instant Flash” option under BIOS. To make sure BIOS update can be executed completely, please use DOS or Windows BIOS update methods to do update temporarily.
After updating to the following version, Instant Flash functions and options are supported under BIOS and it can be used for updating the newer BIOS file in the future.

Question (429): How do the BIOS recovery and Secure Backup UEFI functions work with the Intel Z270 motherboards with two BIOS ROM chips?(2017/2/1)

Question: How do the BIOS recovery and Secure Backup UEFI functions work with the Intel Z270 motherboards with two BIOS ROM chips?(2017/2/1)

Answer:
For the Intel Z270 motherboards with two BIOS ROM chips, there is no need to switch BIOS ROM when doing recovery.
When booting properly, the system works on the active BIOS_A1 as picture below.

However, if the active BIOS_A1 is corrupted or damaged, after several failed boot attempts, it will automatically do BIOS recovery from the backup BIOS_B1 and then the system will still work on the active BIOS_A1. And the monitor will show Secure Backup UEFI (B-->A) function as picture below.

After finishing this function, the system will reboot and work on the active BIOS_A1.
