Check PC Chips USA web site, they have the latest bios up-date for your MB. It does not state what is in it, but they do have one.

I am sorry to hear that, but before I last posted, I went to the web site and down loaded the driver with no problem.

I wouldn't trust a PC Chips board, mine decided to die on me reuiring a replacement. I also had problems with BIOS updating, it wasn't very clear on the site so I did end up downloading the wrong one so disabled my board for a bit until I found an old version to flash it with. It ended up with me having an older BIOS version than I started with.

So did you even read the instruction on how to flash the BIOS?

Yeah. I managed to flash the bios using a hard drive that had Winblows on it but it turns out that the circuits on the board were wearing out because PCChips makes crappy boards. So the board caught on fire soon after I found the problem.
