How to make a custom BIOS and Windows Boot Logo

By popular demand, HERE IT IS! My quick guide to installing a customized Windows Boot and BIOS logo on your PC.
The process will vary depending on your motherboard model and manufacturer, but most manufacturers allow you to do this with their own proprietary software. For the purpose of this video, I'll be showing you on my ASUS Maximus motherboard.
if your motherboard manufacturer doesn't provide software, you still may be able to manually unpackage and replace the standard boot logo in your BIOS file, but it's risky, and therefore not covered in this video. Instructions for this can be found on Google.
If you need more help I'll do my best to help you out here, or check out my PATREON page where you can get exclusive access to better support through our Discord Server.

Just got it done. I actually didn't like the grey circle around the PCMR logo so I removed that and now it looks awesome! Thanks for the tutorial. I have been checking your channel a few times today waiting for your upload. Love this!

[@boostedmedia]

Hi to everyone from REDDIT! Thanks very much for the support on the original video! I never expected such an awesome reception. I hope you find this DIY useful! If you’re having trouble finding EZ Update, please try installing AI Suite 3 from the original CD that came with your motherboard.

[@B_ee]

In my Ai Suite I don't have the Bios thing? I have the latest one

Thank you!!

[@ClivesPlaylist]

Hi, great video thanks. When I turn secure boot on in my bios after completing this and reinstall the secure boot keys, it comes up with a red message and doesn't allow the os to load. It says something about unauthorised changes to the firmware. Ideally, I'd like to be able to boot with secure boot enabled if you could help me with that?

[@Gallersatz]

I got stuck when you used AI Suite 3... I seem to be completely unable to find a download for my mobo model on the asus website (even though I have an asus lap top) so I was unable to proceed with the tutorial. More detail on where to find stuff would be awesome! Tried googling it to death but nothing! Is there any other way to do this without AI Suite 3? I have an Asus ROG Strix GL702ZC Lap Top.

[@sb7707]

I have been doing this for over a decade on Asus mbds. Cool to see this catch on.

Not sure for MSI I’m afraid. I try to stick to things I have personal experience with. Less chance of leading people down the wrong path.

Boosted Media makes total sense, good on you.

does this work with gigabytes motherboards too? Because wich drivers do i need then?

I guess this doesn't apply to the much older Asus Pro Gaming series, right?

Anyone know if AISuite3 only has certain tools for each mobo? I have a ROG STRIX z370-I and don't have the EZ Update tool inside the application. I just updated my bios with it inside the BIOS, but there's no option for custom boot logo there. Looks like it's only available within AISuite3.

I'm kinda having the reverse problem of needing to remove a company boot logo with a stock dell splash when booting up. We want to resell the computer you see without any custom logos popping up.

Awesome! Thank you for this tip! Gonna try it our today!

[@boostedmedia]

You're welcome. Have fun!

Boosted Media can you supply a download link for the flashing program in the info box?

[@boostedmedia]

I’d rather not as it’s better to download the latest one available for your specific motherboard.

[@cradac]

Boosted Media sadly EZ Update doesn't install properly for my Z270-K. It doesn't show up in the AI suite. So I can't set my boot logo. :(

[@boostedmedia]

Install from the original CD.

my processor was overclocked by default. I disabled the turbo CPU option in the Bios and saved the changes, but everytime I turn on my pc the BIOS is back to its default settings and my processor is overclocked again, Pls tell me how to fix this issue. I am using an Asus H-61 motherboard.

[@supra9240]

The model of the BIOS image dosent match the BIOS ROM currently present. When I put the file on asus suite 3 ez update. Tried fixing 2 days nice nothing

[@PhilK114]

Absolutley great ! I hate the Asus "ROG" tripe on mine

[@HumdrumAnt]

Thanks! Hasn't changed the windows logo though for me.

[@boostedmedia]

Depends how you have UEFI handoff configured.

[@hardminder]

It didn't work for me. First the latest version of AI suite 3 wasn't launching on my brand new Ryzen build. I found a beta version that worked but it didn't have EZ Update. I found a way to take only the ez update installer of the previous AI suite and drag it and ran it through the beta version installer. After that everything went as in the video but the logos never changed... I spent a few hours on that.

can you do this with the nzxt mother board?

Not that I’ve seen. It’s never really “safe” to do that unless your system has dual bios.

how do you save it as , cap

[@oddieboi]

I've tried image after image, both transparent and black backgrounds, and for whatever reason I cannot get the image to display right. CSM disables and boot logo set to fullscreen have no affect. The file is a 420x420 ROG logo with a transparent background saved as a .png file. I wish I could get this to work, Im just using an ROG logo except instead of red accents its blue.

[@boostedmedia]

Maybe try converting to JPG first?

[@mambasneak3929]

Does that work on the nzxt n7 z390

[@TheYeks]

so what if I want to redo the Logo or go back to the original reflash the same bios or what cuz that doesnt sound safe to me but IDK

[@boostedmedia]

Yep you’ll need to flash it every time you want to change the logo. Not recommended to change it frequently.

well i have a pretty old bios and i was gona update it cus i can and i saw this sooooooooooo... CAT FACE AS THE BIOS nah CUTE CAT FACE
