BIOS UPDATE ISSUE Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 FB (rev 3.1)

[RyanTaylorrz]

Information:
Motherboard Name: Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 (rev 3.1)
Version: FB
Trying to update to: FC
Operating system: Windows 7 x64-bit

So I'm trying to update my motherboard BIOS from version FB to FC but it keeps giving me this error:

Apparently my x64 version of Windows 7 means I cannot update my BIOs. I have contacted the company but they have not replied. I am downloading the update from their website here:

http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3967&dl=1#bios

They have no tab for specifically downloading a x64-bit version of the BIOs update.

If you have any as to how to solve this then thankyou!

That BIOS updater is meant to be run under DOS. Try the @BIOS utility that Gigabyte provides to do the update from within Windows.
