I will try the first one right now. I know the other two won;t work unless i have a floppy drive which i don't and would prefer to use a usb stick if possible.

The f12 may not in the post screen, but just press the f12 during the POST, there is the instruction ( How to update BIOS in Windows system) in the 1st link.

I held down f12 during post and also tried rapidly pressing f12 during post and neither worked either time.

You need to install the utility software first.

I did install the utility software and it asked me to reboot. So I did. btw, the processor in the computer right now is my old one which is the amd anthlon 64 dual core 5000+.

So check which version BIOS in your MB. And the newer BIOS date is the 6/29/2010.

How to check the BIOS version. http://www.wikihow.com/Check-BIOS-Version

And I found one youtube for BIOS update, just video, but you may find something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWIZ0jonWGw May try other keyboard, or use the USB2.0 port in the back i/o panel.
