Hi I'm having a problem trying to update my motherboard to the latest bios update because my gtx 760 requires it. The problem is that whenever I go to the Q-Flash and try to update it through my flash drive it reads it being outdated, but it is the latest update on the website. I don't know what to do.

My OS is Windows 64 if it helps.

Ok. Where do you see that a BIOS update is require to install a graphics card? It appears the default BIOS is F16 and the only update on the Gigabyte we site is F20 which only states is an update for Xeon E5 series processors.

well the tech support guy I called at EVGA about the graphics card said that I needed to update my mother board so I assumed he meant bios and my current version is F10 on bios. But if I don't need to update it. I guess I should just send the graphics card back because when I run the new graphics card it freezes at the gigabyte start up menu. Then it just goes to a dark screen with a non stop under score blinking at the top left.
