try to see if it can read your USB . if it cannot your USB flash at all it might be a format issue like an NTFS which needs to be reformatted into FAT32

Hmm it really does read my USB ,because i go all way to click on that version what i want to update and its just saying that i cant,and that i must go to MSI page and all that crap...And i dont know what is NTFS nad FAT 32 :/

it might be cause your USB flash is corrupt of formatted in NTFS or some other incompatible format. NTFS and FAT 32 are the formats in which you thumbdrive is formatted

Did you extract files from the zip file you downloaded? It just happened to me today to forget, so I must ask.

I was looking on MSI site and it says it should be FAT32 (right click on usb drive> properties, and see which format it is; format otherwise). Here (1) I found nice guide that might be helpful. And here (2) one linked from your specific MB. I see you tried multiple versions, but just make sure you have te right one and go for under dos mode as explained in link 2. To make it bootable, suggest using Rufus. Just select under "Boot selection" "Free DOS", and select your flash zip file.

If nothing works, maybe clear CMOS first, make sure it is clean, and then start all over.

I hope you'll fin the solution.

To have a FAT32, you must have a drive that is 32gb or less, but I have done this with ex-FAT. Windows doesn't format drives with Large-FAT, but that's Microsoft for you
