    reread my last post as i forgot to insert the link til now. check your motherboard manual for the instructions on doing bios updates as all boards are different for too many reasons. post back & tell me what is says.

    here it is ddp from my MB manual.

    Updating the BIOS
    You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the
    manufacturer's Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals,
    improvements in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as
    follows:
    1. If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to
    allow BIOS flashing.
    2. If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced
    BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being
    overwritten.)
    3. Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information
    on creating a bootable system disk.)
    4. Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer's
    Web site. Copy these files to the system diskette you created in Step 3.
    5. Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer's
    diskette drive. (You might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot
    priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to force your
    computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)
    6. At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press <Enter>.
    7. Type the filename of the new BIOS in the “File Name to Program” text
    box. Follow the onscreen directions to update the motherboard BIOS.
    8. When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the
    diskette drive and restart your computer. If your motherboard has a
    Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS
    from being overwritten.
