Having Trouble Updating Drivers

[Brody Wellmaker]

Afternoon everyone,
Thank you in advance for your time and help. Here's my situation:
I recently had Windows 8 and wasn't impressed with it. I feel I became too accustomed to Windows 7 so I decided to re-install Windows 7 as my OS. After deleting all of the windows.old files I decided to start from scratch.

I'm currently trying to enable SLI on my computer. I believe my graphics drivers are up to date however, I'm having a hard time updating my BIOS. I don't know if this could be the cause of me not being able to enable SLI. This is what I see when opening up NVIDIA Control Panel.



Whenever I attempt to update my BIOS and drivers from the main website for my motherboard, I keep getting a message saying, "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running." I've triple checked under my control panel>system info and I do, in fact, have Windows 7 64-bit installed. However it's telling me it's not compatible even though I'm downloading the drivers under the Windows 7 64-bit category.

Everything is plugged in correctly and the computer is picking up bother cards. I just don't have an SLI option.

Here are some of my specs.
Motherboard: P7P55-WS-SUPERCOMPUTER-ASUS
Video Cards: GeForce GTX 660
GeForce 9800 GTX+
Processor: Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz
System Type: 64-bot Operating System

try downloading a standalone version of the drivers and put them on a cd or flash drive. Then go to your bios and update the bios manually.

Not exactly sure how to do that. Not the most technically savvy person.

If you aren't experienced then I suggest you don't update your bios yourself. There is always a chance that if the process gets interrupted your motherboard could fail completely and your pc wont be able to boot again. Then you would have to get the bios flashed at the factory which could potentially cost a lot of money.
