So I was going to update my bios, I put the bios file in the FAT32 usb hardrive and went into the bios, I enabled BIOS boot function and clicked on "select one file to boot" when suddenly I got an error saying "The SETUP Data Map is different between system BIOS and boot BIOS. If select to boot, the system would be fail to reboot!!!" And so I disabled the BIOS boot function and restarted the computer because I was too scared to try to update bios after this error, anyone has any idea what this means or what I can do to update the bios without getting this??

you should not boot to nothing you go to the bios then theres a page that you select how your flashing you select the usb way and follow the prompts and it will load the bios file from the pendrive to the bios chip and when complete its done
don't your manual show this?? and the steps from oc'er should be near the same -- you down load the bios set up the pen drive add the bios file to the drive go in to your bios to the flash page and select the usb way it will find the drive select the file and hit go then it will read and load the new bios to the bios chip and when done you set things back up in the new bios and save and exit ..
now be sure you got the correct bios and a good clean download of it

this is just sad from msi ---- ''Boards with built-in M-Flash function - While this is a nice idea, at the moment we are seeing many cases of users using M-Flash to update their BIOS and having problems, so at present we don't recommend people use M-Flash either!
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0
so is it that there boards have no stable way to flash them?? I see msi won't be coming to this house its like ''we got bios updates for you but we have no way for you to do it safe ??''

Yeah I did all you said, but the moment I was going to boot from my flash drive to update the bios I got this error "The SETUP Data Map is different between system BIOS and boot BIOS. If select to boot, the system would be fail to reboot!!!".
That's pretty scary and risky, I have no idea what that means, but I won't try to update my bios until anyone here says it's nothing, I already fucked up with my bios once, I won't do so again, so does anyone have any idea what this error means?

Do you click the "Select one file to boot" during the USB M-Flash?
try to pick the their opition "Select one file to updateBIOS and ME"
this is the right one for M-Flash update!
the top one is some new feature which can let you preview the new bios without install it, but not work very well

Thanks MartinNixon, that did the trick! I was also getting the message the OP got, very scary! Am not impressed with the MSI BIOS, its interface and language, really needs sorting out. The hardware is pretty good and reasonably priced but they've *got* to work on fundamental stuff like this in order to keep my custom...
