I have now tried all 3 ways to update the BIOS from 1.40 to 1.90 (DOS, Windows and Instant via the BIOS) and none install. Every one restarts after and just stays on the ASRock spalsh screen, does not respond to any keys (F2,DEL, F11), never shows any screen showing flash progress and I have to use the clear CMOS jumper to get it to boot to BIOS a/o windows 8.1 again. Something I need to do that's not in the instructions listed on their site? Didn't have any of these issues flashing my ASRock Z77 Pro 4 BIOS.

Morning,

What CPU do you have inserted in the socket at the moment / the time of you trying to update the BIOS. Remember to update the BIOS you need to use a CPU that is on the older bios level first (the one the mobo is using), you can't update the BIOS with an cpu made for the bios version of which you're trying to upgrade to.

This is the issue that I try to avoid because I don't want all this hassle, it's good measure to check whether your CPU is compatible with the SHIPPED bios ver. on the board, would save you a lot of time and some money.

Kind Regards,

Well it's a LGA 1151 mobo and the only 2 CPUs out there right now are the i5-6600k and the i7-6700k and I have the i7.
And the ASRock supported CPU list for this mobo has the i7-6700K on it.

Hi again,

RMA the board. It's your only hope!
