Hi I have a H61MA-D2V - BIOS Date: 02/10/12 17:54:32 Ver: 04.06.05 and I need to update it because I think it is the problem why it wont let me use my new graphics card and freezes on the screen. When I go on the my motherboards website I extract the file on to my USB device and when I go to q-flash and try to update with it, it says they is a more recent one.

Mine at the moment is a F2 version and I am trying to update it to the F6 version. Can someone please tell me what the problem is.
Thank you
 
Clear your CMOS and restart your computer. If you still have the same issues, uninstall your current graphics drivers with Driver Sweeper and restart. After the second restart, download your most updated graphics driver and install. After the install, reboot and see if this resolved the issue.
 


I wouldn't know where to start lol.
 
Oh man...this sounds like it would be rough.

Follow this step to uninstall your graphics driver:

Here is your user manual for your motherboard. Look for anything that says "Clear CMOS":

Here is a link to Driver Sweeper:

Try finding out how to clear your CMOS first, and if you can't find that out, look at how to uninstall drivers and use Driver Sweeper.
 


Do I need to do all that to update it to the F6 version?
