You need more than just the bios file. You also need the installer and
"instructions". I have never seen a manufacturers web site that allowed bios
update downloads that did NOT also have this additional program and the
instructions on how to use it.
As stated before, get a professional to do it for you. If you mess up, you
may be posting here inquiring how to install a new motherboard.
