Hi,

Right. I bought a RX-480 gfx card and like so many people who have my Mobo the gfx card is not being recognised until you update the bios.

So I went to foxconn site selected my board and downloaded the newest bios - http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000520

I created a flash USB and moved the files to it. I then booted my pc from the USB and used the AFUDOS program to run the .ROM file which is titled "C29F1P03"

It then read the file and said something,like "Error - Given ROM file does not match existing BIOS"

Now the existing BIOS on my machine is actually from a different series: A48N1S01 August 2011.
I cannot find this for the life of me, and the series under my board is the F1P series (e.g.c29F1P03).

I have heard that you can trick your motherboard into thinking its a different model by forcing a bios on it which I think may of happened.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? (I dont want to brick the system). Is there a way to force the update BIOS onto my system?
Is it actually possible that my board is different to what It says (it actually says its h67m-s/h67m-v/h67 in my BIOS screen). If so, would force flashing the BIOS from a similar model e.g. the H67M-v work or will it brick the system?

Thanks people!

My system:
I7 2600 + stock cooler
FOXCONN h67m-s/h67m-v/h67 motherboard
750X novatech ATX power supply
8GB DDr3 ram
250GB SSD
1TB storage SATA
using GTX 560ti nvidia

Thanks. So I actually contacted a FOXCONN technician in Taiwan from their factory who gave me a file to update the BIOS with.

I updated it and... ... ... It bricked the system! Completely destroyed it, so I had to get a new mobo. Got it and everything works fine but cost me an extra 80 quid.

Thanks for your help though ( and the link does work but FOXCONN website crashes frequently so sometimes you have to wait and it comes back randomly)
