having trouble updating bios H110M-S2H

[gutteddd]

have a H110M-S2H and just got myself a i5 7600k but the bios needs updating.
I downloaded files from gigabyte website but when I execute the file
it says;
this program or feature cannot start or run due to incompatability with 64-bit versions of windows. please contract software vendor to ask if a 64-bit windows compatible version is available

How are you trying to update the BIOS? Are you using a Skylake chip (6xxx series) to update ?

 

[gutteddd]

using the skylake g4400. just by clicking the autoexec ;/ or do I actually have to go into the bios to change it.

[strike]You cannot update the BIOS without a Skylake CPU. Return the motherboard if you can and get a B250, or take it to a shop (additional cost) and ask them to update it for you.[/strike]

OK you got the hard part out of the way. It seems as if you've got the wrong file to run.

Double check the file you downloaded.

it is a skylake cpu....

You have to go directly to the BIOS and do it.

What files exactly did you download?
You can update BIOS using @BIOS application from gigabyte support page.

BIOS update is not a Windows program. See https://www.gigabyte.com/FileUpload/Global/WebPage/20/HowToReflashBIOS.html for BIOS update instruction (note that your board does not support Q-Flash method).

[gutteddd]
