And are you following the instructinos on your motherboard manual when you access the BIOS itself?

Not sure what you mean, you'll have to elaborate, you'll have to access the BIOS to update it (or use EZ update, but it's not as advisable) You can see the EZ update method in the same section in the manual I linked.

Why are you trying to update BIOS anyway?
