Anyway I can flash bios without going into Bios

[Bajamonster]

Okay, so I have a MSI z87-GD65 motherboard. I bought an Intel g3258 after I sold my 4770k. I wasnt thinking and forgot that you needed a bios update for CPU compatibility. I didnt know you wouldnt even be able to get into the Bios though. Im not an expert at this stuff, but I dont think you could call me a newb. I have the Bios update ready on a flash drive. But since I cant get into the bios I dont know what to do.

Anyone have any ideas? 😀 It would be greatly appreciated. If I cant update the bios what should I do? D:

Please help me!!

Thanks,

I'm afraid that you need a supported CPU with that board. A local PC shop might help.

I got it all fixed, sent it back to MSi they updated bios for me. G3258 compatible. Works good now.

Glad you've solved it.

Well ya kinda. Motherboard I got back wont see anything in the second PCi-E slot. thats a bad mobo right? or CPU?

Or bent pins in the CPU socket. Try testing the board outside the case for ruling out a short. If still the same... it might be a bent pin.

Okay yea, one of those three. Thanks for your help. Ill do some testing and get back to you!
