I'm trying to update my BIOS (MSI A78m-E45) so that it can support the new Kaveri CPUs. It is currently on V25.3. Ive downloaded the files from the MSI website, but there are 3 available since 25.3; 25.4, 25.5 and 25.6, do I need to download them all and flash them all?

I've put all 3 onto a memory stick, booted in BIOS and gone to the flash bios option, it detects the memory stick but then says there are no files inside. Do I need to format the USB stick a certain way? Do i need to put these folders into a sub folder?

Thanks!
 
You do not need to flash them all, just the latest version.
Also, you need to unzip the files, and rename them according to the manufacturer instructions.
If it is an .exe file you just need to run it in windows, and it will install during the next boot.

So I've dowloaded the latest BIOS version, unzipped onto the USB stick, and still the BIOS says there's no folders in their when I try to update it. Do I need to name it Root Folder?
