BIOS Rev. 1.5.0.SR.5:


• Fixed: "Boot Option Filter" could not be changed through EditCMOS


Known problems and restrictions:


• There are incompatibilities between some NV Kepler based graphics cards and SandyBridge CPUs, which can lead 
  to the graphics card not found at boot. If no graphics card BIOS update is available that limits the speed to 
  Gen2, please either limit the PCIe speed of the graphics card slot to Gen2 in the BIOS Setup, or use 
  Ivy Bridge CPUs.

• After starting BIOS Recovery Flash the update process stays approximately 70 seconds with 0% before continuing. 
  Please note that the system must NOT be switched off during Recovery Flash!

• BIOS Setup item "Power Failure Recovery: Disabled" not working as expected with "Low Power Soft Off: Enabled"

• When clearing passwords (Administrator/User Password), passwords are not cleared when 
  afterwards "Optimized Defaults" are loaded
