Windows 10: when downloading bios .zip containing a .CAP file from Asus website i can't see the file...

Hello,


when downloading bios .zip containing a .CAP file from Asus website i can't see the file .CAP extension except in safe mode and more than that it is associated with the photos app!


the behaviour about .CAP file looks normal when i download the file in safe mode with networking: i can see the file extension and it is not associated to anything.


Please help me understand if it is a virus or not,


with kind regards,

:)

You're using the wrong flashing utility then if it's asking for a .ROM and not a .CAP. ASUS updated their stuff after moving to the CAP format. Using CAP files requires you to run another utility that coverts the video card to the CAP format first.

I would flash an old BIOS that still uses .ROM, run the CAP updater, then flash the newest .CAP BIOS to the board.

Are we talking about your ASUS Rampage V Extreme?

Yes that's the way... except adding your original board info from bios Backup, you have to fill out those fields manually now(read from stickers attached to the board). Stock bios from ASUS is blank and uses default MAC. Well I guess it doesn't matter much if you are behind a router much.

And the image must work.
