I have found some bios on the net for my cusi fx asus main board, i use award software to flash it.
Now my system is in error i need to restore my old bios because this one is from some other board uhhh.
My system is working but it is not ok.
I was trying to restore my old bios but award software says me - that is not right update for my motherboard and bios.
Please tell me how to delete bios and then add my old one.
 
You are very lucky your system is working at all. You must never flash your BIOS except with upgrades for that exact motherboard. You should be able to get the correct upgrade from the motherboard manufacturer's web site, together with the appropriate flash utility and instructions on use.
 
i do that type of stuff i just take another motherboard exactly the same as the one with corrupt bios i boot the system with the healthy bios and then hot swap the bios with the one that is corrupt then i use award flash this method has helped me with a lot of motherboards but on hot swapping there is always a risk of major hardware damage so do it at your own risk
good luck
