    So I recently used the vBios update that Gary posted a few months ago that finally got rid of the GSOD and I did it right (I think) and it booted up fine the first time and i was able to play games and such, but for some reason it won't boot normally anymore. The only way I can boot is by tapping esc when the Asus logo comes up and choose where to boot from a small menu. Is there anyway I can let it boot normally again?

    Did you change the boot order settings in the BIOS to do the firmware flash? If so, did you put it back the way you want it?

    Also how do I get to the Bios setup again? I tried the original way which was taping on the delete key but now it only takes me a menu asking me which OS to start from (and I only have windows 7).

    Hit F2 at startup to get into the bios setup, and you probably want to reset to user defaults.
