Hi ... I've tried to use QFlash to update the BIOS from F2 to F4 on this
motherboard, but when I select "Update Main BIOS from floppy" I get a
message saying the BIOS is protected.

I searched the BIOS menu pages and can't find a way to unprotect the
BIOS so it will allow an update. I left an inquiry for tech support on
their web site, but so far no response.

Any thoughts?

-Michael

Go to the Advanced BIOS Features page of the system setup program and set
BIOS Flash Protection to [Auto]. You may need to press Ctrl-F1at the main
menu to see the advanced settings.
