Review on ASUS PRO Q470M C CSM 2XDisplayPorts by Adam Davidson

Corrupt EPROM: Internal

The motherboard came with a corrupt EPROM that prevented the computer from booting normally. It stops and reports that disks were NOT found. Pressing ESC two or three times booted the board up and the computer worked fine except it wouldn't boot up. ASUS support suggested it was an outdated drive and gave instructions on how to change the BIOS. This prevented the computer from starting at all. The hard drive was not outdated. After numerous checks (I have 40 years of PC experience - repairs, modifications etc.) I was forced to do an external diagnosis and the diagnosis found a damaged EPROM. I had to flash the EPROM to fix it. Diagnosis and repair are more expensive than the mainboard. So I do NOT recommend this motherboard.

Pros
  • Internal
Cons
  • All OK
