Hey guys I have an MSI p67a-c45 motherboard and the click bios is ridiculous!! First off it refuses to recognise any keyboard I've tried with it. Secondly it is glitchy and laggy to the point where doing anything in the bios is a lost cause. There's gears in that have a turning animation but they don't turn for long periods of time. And nothing operates during this time. So I'm assuming the bios is frozen completely when the gears don't turn. To be clear the gears mean nothing I only use them as a visual to see when I can actually move the mouse for a second before it cuts out again. All I can think is maybe my bios is out of date? But how can I update it when my bios is so unusable that I can't even navigate to mflash! Lol my computer recently decided that it was going to start trying to boot from my drive that doesn't even have windows on it lol but I can't use the bios to change the boot priority. Please someone save me from my MSI click bios nightmare! Any help is very much appreciated

For anyone who stumbles across this I solved it! It was my graphics card. For some reason my bios really did not like to play with my 270x. Put in a gtx 970 and it's run smooth ever since !
I'm not an expert in this but I think you can flash it without having to do it from the BIOS. I assume this is your motherboard?

If it is, then you'll see that there is a button above one of the USB 2.0 ports at the back. It's used for flashing. Follow this video.

I know it's for an asus motherboard. I'll see if I can find one for an MSI.

EDIT: Hold on. I may be completely wrong about this. I'll edit this post if I find that you can't flash it this way.

EDIT 2: Yes. I am wrong about this. Sorry.
