ASRock extreme 7 2600K and Logitech G510 not recognised in the bios or during boot up at all

I updated to bios 1.10 and the inverted mouse issue seems to have appeared with it, any fix yet? it's by no means a game breaker but it is annoying when 1.00 worked fine.

If it isn't broken why fix it?

Updated bios to 1.10 yesterday works flawlessly.

Using Logitech Deluxe 250 Keyboard & LS1 Laser Mouse, both usb, works perfectly.

Built my third Extreme 4 Gen 3 today & found out it will not work with a PS2 mouse, have four different ones in my spares box & NOT one will work with the board, board won't even boot.

But, but trying several usb mice, Logitech,Deathadder, etc, the board perfoms flawlessly, loads windows in seconds.

Mine works fine with bios 1.0 using the keyboard (PS2) and mouse (USB) below once I'm in. The problem I have is that sometimes I can hammer away on F2 or Delete and it just wont enter the bios at all

How are you people satisfied with Extreme4 Gen3?

olivier renault · 4 Nov 2011 at 20:47

no complains. The mouse (Qpad 5K) doesn't work in the bios, but I'm not bothered tbh.

I've noticed that with 1.10 too, that is actually well annoying.

Running 1.10 here on Extreme 4 Gen 3, no problems entering bios, everything working superbly.

don't you have UEFI in windows to setup everything? bios virtually not needed?

I'm running the extreme 4 and no issues with my Logitech G500

Asrock just dont have the customer support like Asus as they still havent fixed the problems with the first gen Asrock Z68 Extreme 4.

Asrock Extreme4 gen3, i5 2500k with Razer Deathadder... Inverted mouse in BIOS.

Same as above.

TFC · 5 Nov 2011 at 12:04

I updated to bios ver 1.10 and it cured the inverted mouse. No issues at all now.

how do you flash guys?

mmj_uk · 5 Nov 2011 at 13:58

1.00 worked okay, 1.10 gave me inverted mouse, 1.10b fixed it. Strange that others are seeing the reverse.

There's a flash menu in the menu, copy the file to a USB drive and use that menu.

I assume you're talking about the BIOS

I also assume you're talking about the ASRock motherboard and not the one in your sig.

Download the latest BIOS file from ASRock.

Copy the file to a USB memory stick.

Restart the PC with the memory stick inserted and go into the BIOS.

Go to the Advanced screen in the BIOS and use the Instant Flash utility.

yep for the asrock extreme4 gen which i'll buy soon

same as asus pretty simple-straightforward.

Extreme 7 Gen 3
i5 2500K
Saitek cyborg V7 keyboard
saiteck R.A.T.5 mouse

No issues whilst running original bios nor in the latest bios, been fault free since i got it.
