Em, kind confusing post. Do you have the BIOS ROM file on a floppy? Updating the BIOS is an easy process and it has it's risks, if for some reason you are updating and the electricity goes, you could ruin the mobo(unless you get a new BIOS chip and replace it), and your manufactuer won't let you RMA for that.

Here's 2 guides on how to update the BIOS.

Using a floppy disk.

Using A flash drive, which is easier as most people don't have Floppy's anymore.
