nVidia releases new motherboard BIOS update
Earlier this week, graphics processor giant nVidia released a new BIOS update for nVidia nForce 680i SLI “Designed by NVIDIA” motherboards.
Apparently, some customers using the motherboards have reported disconnections or write error issues with SATA disk drives. Random application shutdown and the blue screen of death have also been associated with this bug.
The motherboards affected are as follows:
- EVGA nForce 680i SLI motherboard
- BFG nForce 680i SLI motherboard
- Biostar TF680i SLI Deluxe
- ECS PN2-SLI2+
If you’re using one of the motherboard models listed above, nVidia recommends that you upgrade to this new BIOS regardless of whether or not you’ve experienced the bug. Better safe than sorry, right? This upgrade will preserve all of your current computer settings, plus it will likely improve your system stability.
