I am having an issue where the BIOS updater (on my desktop) will copy all the files, and gives me an option to update. Once I press update, it gives me an error saying 'CreateChildProcess Failed!'
and aborts the update.

AMIWinFlash process shows in task manager, I'm assuming that's what is needed to flash the bios and update, yet it will not. I've restarted my system and tried again but to no success.

Hopefully someone has experience in this matter.:(

I somehow fixed this by going into my current bios and adjusting UMA buffer size from 512mb to 256mb, or maybe it just didn't recognize my bios version and adjusting different variables made it boot with a relevant version that it could identify.

It is working now. I hope it stays working.
