Asus m3a32-mvp deluxe can´t update bios

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a similar problem as ch1ef, but in my case it bit different, well ive tried the asus updade thing on windows vista 64 bit and had no sucess, when i tried to run the bios and the program just disappears. like ch1ef sayed i had no problems updating my bios until 1301, wich is the one i have now, but i need to update my bios because i bought a amd phenom II 940 and the board needs a bios update to run it, according to asus, i didn´t install the cpu yet, but Asus says i need the new bios to run the cpu. Well ive tried the flash utility from the bios tools, to make a "deeper" bios change, but when i try to load the bios from the pen drive the pc just freezes, ive even tried differente bios such as the 2003 version and they all do the same, when i push enter over the 1406.rom file ( for example), the pc just freezes, no loading, nothing happens at all.

Any ideas for what might be the problem?

thank you

Unfortunately the problem with BIOS updates designed for new CPUs is that you need a CPU that works with the current BIOS version to be able to install the update. Weird no? You might have to borrow a CPU for a friend, or even from a computer shop if they're so inclined.
