i innstalled the update on my flash drive and installed it from msi's home side.
i took the newest update here:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z77A-G43#down-bios

i have tried different things like:
-taking out the battery in 3 hours and then setting it back
-clearing the cmos with a screwdriver in 10 sec
- setting in a new cpu
-setting in the battery from an another motherboard (msi b75-p45)
i have plugged in a flash drive

How did you upgrade it? If you followed the instructions in the recovery procedure and it doesn't work, then you'll most likely have to RMA the motherboard.

yes you can use any of p67 chip or z77 chip but for the i7 3700k go on the z77 chip and when you pick some mobo what you like go on the mobo page and see if they can OC the CPU just to be sure
