I have a F8 bios on my Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L motherboard,and i need to update it to the F10a bios since my cpu runs at a multiplier of 6 instead of 8.

I formatted my 8gb flash drive to FAT32,then i put the bios file on it

After i rebooted and entered Q flash,the Floppy Drive A and Floppy Drive B were only recognized (i don't have any floppy drives hooked up to my motherboard)

I tried all usb ports,and i tried enabling and even disabling legacy usb support in the bios (i cant remember the exact name of the option),but It still doesn't work.
Does anyone know a solution?

EDIT:Here are my pc specs if it helps:
CPU:Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 ghz quad core (running at 2ghz because of the multiplier)
CPU Cooler:Spire Kepler Rev 2
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L Rev 1.1
GPU:Asus 8800GTX 768mb GDDR3
Power Supply:LC POWER 6550 550W
Hitachi 320GB 7200RPM SATA II HDD

 
Solution
try finding an old 2g usb 2.0 stick. the newer 3x bios may not work if not you have to make a bootable usb stick and use ami/award dos flash program to update your bios that way.
