Flash your BIOS to version 4210. If that doesn't get you anywhere, then flash it to the latest verson. Caution: If something messes up during the flashing process you might end up having to send your motherboard to the repair service for BIOS restoration so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL!

Crossing fingers. Btw, I'd advice you to update your BIOS from the BIOS itself with a USB and not from your Operating System, because anti-virus systems and other software will most likely interfere with the process of flashing and that will surely not end very well.

Would it be smart to update bios via flash before i install windows? i was going to wipe everything out again, format my drives and start from scratch. Or should i reinstall windows and then update the bios.

Flash the BIOS after you reinstall Windows.

you cant really go wrong anymore with bios flashing, most new boards have dual bios' just for that purpose incase it does fail. also if you try to upload for the wrong board it will stop you. I know my board did When I tried updating and I downloaded the wrong bios
