Hey! I was trying to update my bios drivers when downloading latest bios drivers from my motherboards website. But when i download and put .rom file in my loca disc D and try to load from bios when i choose that file its says NO UPDATE MODULE FOUND IN THIS FILE or something like that. What should i do ?

The ROM file is delivered in zipped format. You have to unzip it so that the BIOS updater can find it. Did you unzip it?

Okay, I just found something which may fix the problem.
Did you unzip the ROM file using Windows built-in unzipper?

If yes, install trial version of WinRAR. Go here and scroll down to the sub-heading halfway down: "English WinRAR and RAR release"

Choose either WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 5.01 or WinRAR x64 (64 bit) 5.01 as appropriate for your Windows OS.

Install it.

Now right-click the BIOS zip file and unzip/extract the contents with WinRAR this time, using the right-click context-menu (first make sure you have deleted the first ROM file so you don't try to use it again).

Now try updating the BIOS using same method as before.
