but if it did, then it wouldnt support the cpu? cuz on the asrock website, the asrock FM2A88M-HD+ support the amd athlon x4 860k only on the updated version. how do i fix this?

FOUND IT! the default bios is P2.40. I need P2.60 for the mobo to support the cpu. whats a sure and safe way i could update the bio without blowing money. Or if some money is required, whats the fastest way to flash the bios?
