I have managed to download the BIOS update files, but I can't for the life of me find an option to update in the Bios setup tools (when you press DEL at start up). I am 99.9% certain that there is no option in the BIOS setup to select a file on a disk to update from, I've gone through every page and menu at least 10 times.
I've tried pushing every F button at start up, they do nothing.
This is the motherboard Colorful C.G41H D3 V25 the page is all in Chinese, but google translate does a very good job and the translated page is perfectly understandable.
I have downloaded the latest version of the bios 1005, there is a txt file included but the instructions are in Chinese which I can't read, the update contains:
AFUDOS.EXE
OUT.EXE
C31HD315.ROM
AMI.BAT
So I have the files, for my motherboad, but I'm completely stumped as to how to actually use them!
Any tips?

So I downloaded the Chinese mobo manual and found a part about the BIOS, I google translated it but am having a hard time making sense of it.
